Inspection tools

1. SI Test Boards

SI test boards (Signal Integrity Test Board) are for evaluating the transmission characteristics of connectors and harnesses. 
The SI test board enables measurement of overall signal integrity characteristics, including high‑speed signal routing on the PCB.  By accurately evaluating key SI metrics such as insertion loss, return loss, VSWR, and crosstalk, it can be effectively used for performance verification and design optimization.
