1 Significant frequency (fs) is the highest frequency in the frequency spectrum of a signal pulse up to which the amplitudes of the corresponding frequency components are significant. Most high-frequency digital pulses can be characterized using a significant frequency, related only to the ramp time tr (fs = 0.34/tr). Skin depth and interconnect parasitics (resistance and inductance) are also extracted at the significant frequency. 0018-9383/$26.00
