Waveform distortion is a serious problem in higher-frequency signals on printed circuit boards (PCBs). To overcome this problem, we have already proposed the segmental transmission line (STL) method, which divides transmission lines into several segments with different line widths. Each line width is adjusted to make the reflection noises cancel each other out in order to minimize the signal distortion. In this research, we first analyze the waveform reshaping mechanism of STL. Next, we apply STL to a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) clock-line for high-speed computers. The results give helpful guidelines for STL designs, which shows the efficiency of STL.
