  "abstract": "A reusable MATLAB signal-integrity (SI) framework is presented that converts compatible four-port S-parameter data, measured by VNA or obtained from electromagnetic simulation, into traceable link-level evidence rather than a single loss metric. Its contribution is the checked, traceable automation of established SI operations while keeping source data, model assumptions, analytical projections, and finite-record observations distinct. The framework is demonstrated on the four 1.25 Gbps differential routes (DP1-DP4) of the PPCB-1347-MuPix11 probe card using PTSL CST Microwave 3D-Solver-derived four-port S-parameters and a virtual time-domain solver. The automated pipeline preflights file structures, performs a power-normalized mixed-mode transformation, applies route-length-aware loss decomposition, constructs a causally loaded channel model, and propagates full PRBS-31 sequences into eye-diagram, conditional-BER, and 8b10b-coded-link analyses. At the 1.25 Gbps data rate (Nyquist 0.625 GHz), DP1-DP4 exhibit differential insertion loss (SDD21) from -0.350 to -0.300 dB, differential-to-common conversion from -31.038 to -28.236 dBc, and modeled FEB-input eye openings from 0.586 to 0.588 V. The comparison shows that path length alone is not an adequate SI ranking variable: DP3 has the lowest Nyquist insertion loss, DP1 the strongest differential-to-common isolation, and DP4 the largest modeled eye. All analytical BER values remain below the reporting floor and therefore do not support a BER ranking. By preserving the distinction between route-dependent waveform behavior, model projections, and finite-record observations, the framework provides an extensible basis for comparative high-speed-interconnect SI analysis from design review through calibrated VNA measurement interpretation.",
