[SI-LIST] Re: 50 ohms cable model

Gerald,

Your individual LC networks probably have a time constant that is much too 
long.  The "bucket brigade" approximation only works well when the time 
constant of an individual cell is 10% or less the signal rise-time.  Eric 
Bogatin's "Signal Integrity Simplified" deals with the "bucket brigade" 
approximation rather nicely.  But given that this is a cable, why don't you 
use a Tx line model?
