Dudes, http://www.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/G204.pdf May I suggest reading the pdf above. Simulations will require models for the xfmr and cables. Could be layout & terminations causing mismatch or cm noise issues (I don't know the symptoms). Simulations may not include the factors causing the degradation & so won't be seen. Even if all is modeled, how will you track down the culprit without knowing best practices & why ? Doh! Now, carry on. Vedy good.
