[SI-LIST] Re: How to simulate length mismatch of PCB traces

The question implies that the mutual coupling between the lines be included
otherwise the solution is trivial. If the length difference is short
cascading a w-element is not a good solution. Indeed the w-element for
electrically short lines should be avoided at all times. A quick and dirty
way is to make a ladder circuit or use a U-element (if anybody can remember
that...) to account for the length difference.
