Polar Instruments Si9000e 2025 v25.01

the Si9000e Insertion Loss Field Solver is designed to model transmission line loss, impedance at given frequencies and extract full transmission line parameters over a wide range of popular PCB transmission lines (over 100 structures). Employing boundary element method field solving, the Si9000e extracts RLGC matrices and rapidly plots a range of transmission line information for the structure you are designing.

Polar Instruments Si9000e 2025 v25.01 Tested Picture

Loss is graphed three ways with clear indication of dielectric, copper and total loss and includes Huray / Canonball /Gradient plus legacy Hammerstad, & Groisse methods for roughness modeling:

• Links with Speedstack as Speedstack Si
• Si Crosstalk option – Multiline and differential pair (lossless) crosstalk – models coupling between traces
• Si Projects option with Speedstack saves structure groups
• Roughness modeling – Cannonball-Huray / Gradient / Hammerstad / Groisse
• Roughness input data Rz (Canonball-Huray) / RMS (Rq) Gradient
• Inbuilt impedance graphing
• Graphs conductor, dielectric and insertion loss
• At-a-glance comprehensive S-parameter charting – magnitude, phase and Smith charts
• Single-ended and Mixed-mode S-parameters charting and data tables
• User defined S-parameter source and termination impedance
• Frequency dependent modeling down to 1KHz
• Differential via calculation
• Go / no go Via Stub Check

Si9000e graphs all losses – conductor, dielectric and insertion loss. The Si9000e caters for both single and multiple dielectric builds and comes with the ability to take into account solder mask performance. Mask coverage can be set adjacent, between and above traces. Many Polar customers request frequency-dependent impedance modelling, with particular reference to transmission line losses – the result is the Si9000e. The Si9000e is built on the same proven boundary element field solving platform as the PCB fabrication industry standard Si8000m. Increasing numbers of engineers are using the Si8000m as a rapid and accurate design tool for transmission line impedance – the Si9000e extends the output to extract full transmission line parameters.
