Hi, Fangyi Rao and I have published an article on EE Times' RF Designline about the creation of delay-causal and passive time-domain models from bandlimited and noisy s-parameters: http://www.rfdesignline.com/howto/222400306 The method makes use of the Kramers-Kronig relationship mentioned below.

After some reading and doodling, a little light bulb lit up, and the result was my latest blog posting "Kramers-Kronig in Pictures" here: http://signal-integrity.tm.agilent.com/2009/kramers-kronig-in-pictures/ The Kramers-Kronig relation is very useful in SI because it enables you to determine time-domain causality (or lack thereof) of a frequency domain model (e.g. s-parameters) before you attempt to move it into the time domain. IMHO, it's worth getting to know.
