The Intel® Advanced Link Analyzer Channel Viewer provides a convenient way of observing and comparing channel characteristics. The following types of channel characteristics, which are represented by Touchstone S-parameter format, can be displayed in the Channel Viewer:
- Standard-mode / Single-ended S-parameter—for example, S11, S12, S21
- Mixed-mode / Differential S-parameters—for example: Sdd11, Sdd21, Scd21
- Frequency Domain Plots: Amplitude and propagation/group delay plots
