Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory that stores code, and a processor that executes code stored in memory to derive a distribution of impedances for parameters of a trace within a printed circuit board (PCB). The processor further to determine impedance corners of the distribution of impedances, to select the impedance corners as first, second, and third trace models, and to derive first, second, and third distribution of losses based on the first, second, and third trace models. The processor further to store loss corners of the first, second, and third distribution of losses as modeling points, and to determine whether all of modeling points pass within tolerance levels of loss and impedance of the trace.

Abstract: A signal processing method is disclosed. The method includes identifying a preferred loss profile for a plurality of signal transmission channels and generating a filter transfer function corresponding to each of the plurality of signal transmission channels, where each filter transfer function is configured to produce a filtered signal with a loss profile approximately equal to the preferred loss profile. The method further includes generating a plurality of filtered signals by filtering a plurality of signals using the filter transfer function corresponding to each of the plurality of signal transmission channels. and transmitting the plurality of filtered signals to a plurality of receivers via the plurality of signal transmission channels.
