Transmission line losses—driven by skin effect and dielectric properties—play a critical role in degrading high-speed signal integrity and eye performance.
Transmission line loss directly affects eye diagram quality, with around −12 dB at Nyquist marking the limit before signal integrity rapidly degrades without equalization.

The TF-USB-C-HS enables synchronized electrical probing and protocol analysis to isolate USB 3.2 link training failures at both the PHY and logic layers.
Behind the simplicity of USB-C is a complex sequence of power negotiation, role detection, and multi-protocol link training that determines how devices communicate.
