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

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

New Features
Effective Er – from v14:07also on SET2DIL
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.
