How to Determine the Impedance of a Circuit

Impedance impacts how signals propagate through the board, how power is exchanged between components, and how signals leak into undesired sections of a PCB. There are several methods for determining a circuit’s impedance, but they don’t necessarily yield realistic results unless you include the appropriate parasitic elements in your models.
