Well, if the reported impedance is the single-ended impedance of those lines we have considerable margin to burn and should aggressively pursue the taper structure and bring in the keepouts at each end.
i sort-of understand that. am i right in thinking: at the ends we have to treat them as single-ended, and achieve a sngle-ended impedance of 50 ohms, but 100 ohms for the diff-pairs.
For the geometry that fit our constraints, we calculated a single-ended impedance of ~72 Ohm and differential impedance of ~111 Ohm (which corresponds to a tolerance of 11%).
ok so 72's not really very close to 50 ohms... interested to learn how that can be achieved.
