[SI-LIST] Re: Interconnect Simulations-V2

Hello,

I donot know if this answers your question...but just
a piece of information...the fourier coefficients of a
trapezoidal wave comprises of product of three terms.

1. (tau+tr)/T
2. sinc(n*pi*tr/T)
3. sinc{n*pi*(tr+tau)/T}

where tau is the high time, tr is the rise time ( or
fall time) and T is the period. For tau>>t1, till
Frequency 1/tr, the 2nd sinc pulse decays slowly,
hence 20dB / decade attenuation due to 3rd sinc
pulse.....beyound this knee frequency both the sinc
terms act and hence 40dB/decade attenuation.....

Hope this helps.

Sincerely

Himanshu Arora
