The following figure shows the design used for receiver performance of the IBIS-AMI model. The Tx is connected to the Rx through Board > 24 inch cables > Package > Backplane. The output of the backplane is looped back the PolarFire Evaluation kit Rx SMAs. The following figure shows the hardware setup.
