Abstract: The clock signals are required integrity over the system, it is desirable that all clock signals are distributed with a uniform delay. The backward crosstalk among the sections of a serpentine delay line accumulates to appear as a laddering wave in the receiving waveform. This occurrence results in severe signal distortion. The lossy effect of thin-film serpentine delay line has been investigated with both simulation and experiment approaches. The test microstrip serpentine line was made on silicon substrate; the TDT measurement results have been verified with those obtained by the SPICE simulation. Due to the effect of the resistive line, the laddering waves in lossy serpentine were depressed.

Keywords:  lossy delay line; crosstalk; serpentine.
