Signal-path design refers to the process of designing the route or path that a signal (such as an electrical or optical signal) takes as it travels through a system or device. This includes the selection of components and their configuration, as well as the optimization of the signal path to meet specific performance requirements. The signal-path design process also includes factors such as signal integrity, noise, and signal loss.
A signal-path design engineer is a professional who designs and optimizes the route or path a signal takes as it travels through a system or device. Engineers within this field also may work with a variety of signal types, such as electrical, optical, and wireless signals. They may be involved in the design of a wide range of systems and devices, including communication systems, electronic devices, and medical equipment.
