New Features Atlas SPP An SPP test comprises: • A series of thorough impedance pre-screening tests • (Test for line taper / impedance imbalance) • Above tests performed on both a long and short line in both forward and backward directions. Followed by: • Alpha (loss) / Beta (phase) tests / calculation of effective Er • Compliant with IPC-TM-650 2. 5. 5. 12 8 Copyright © Polar Instruments 2014
New Features Atlas SPP • Helpful Atlas screens guide users through completing a typical SPP test: • Pre-screening – Waveform windowing – Alpha (loss) and Beta (phase) measurements. • Atlas walks users through the SPP test components – that can be performed in any order 9 Copyright © Polar Instruments 2014
New Features Atlas’ helpful graphical guides lead users through SPP testing Clear on-screen instructions, tailored for both hardware and software IFNs, guide users through SPP tests, which can be completed in any order 10 Copyright © Polar Instruments 2014
New Features Processed result screen – click any graph for magnified view Click on any individual result for detail view 11 Copyright © Polar Instruments 2014
New Features Effective Er – from v 14: 07 also on SET 2 DIL The ability to extract the phase along with an accurate knowledge of the line length allows you to calculate the effective dielectric constant at any given frequency. This result shows the typical characteristic of PCB laminates with a higher Er at low frequencies – gently sloping to a much smaller reduction in effective Er as the frequency rises. 12 Copyright © Polar Instruments 2014
