Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to via structure utilization in a PCB design and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for impedance discontinuity remediation for via stubs and connectors in a PCB. In one embodiment a method for impedance discontinuity remediation in a PCB can be provided. The method can include configuring a pre-distortion filter to negate an impedance discontinuity in an electrical signal caused by a transmission line with one of a via stub or a connector. The method further can include pre-distortion filtering an electrical signal before transmitting the electrical signal over the transmission line. Finally, the method can include transmitting the pre-distortion filtered electrical signal over the transmission line.
