8.12.3.3 Step 3: Frequency-Domain Specification Guidelines
The PCB differential lines should be drawn in order to satisfy the Step 1 and Step 2 requirements.
However, although the PCB designer may draw the lines carefully, the lines can have poor electrical
performance due to many reasons.
Vertical connections such as vias and non-uniform line connections can degrade the electrical
performance of the differential lines. The ground design around the lines can also affect the electrical
performance. To ensure that the differential lines are well designed, the frequency-domain behavior must
be compared to the frequency-domain specification.
