2.3 Backplane Board
The backplane board (see Figure 2–3) is typical of backplanes used in
commercial applications, and consists of 20 slots with 0.94-in. pitch and
48 data bits, and 1 clock bit on stripline transmission lines.

This backplane board is constructed uniquely of six groups of eight data bits
each to study the effect of different backplane lengths and driver/receiver
placements. Group 1 consists of all 20 slots, but subsequent groups move to
the left (see Figure 2–4) and have a reduced number of slots, as listed in
Table 2–1.
