Abstract
Techniques are disclosed to determine the temperature-dependent insertion loss and propagation delay of traces in a printed circuit board design. For example, an example method includes determining a first temperature at a first portion of a trace of a PCB design based on a thermal map of the PCB design. The method further includes determining a second temperature at a second portion of the trace based on the thermal map. The method further includes calculating a temperature-dependent property of the PCB at the first portion based on the first temperature. The method further includes calculating the temperature-dependent property of the PCB at the second portion based on the second temperature. The method further includes calculating at least one of a signal loss and propagation delay on the trace based on the temperature-dependent property of the PCB at the first portion and the second portion.
