I think you are right. There is not enough information. Ideally if this is supposed to be a distributed transmission line it would be defined in terms of Z S and Length. With L C and length you can translate to Z S and length and then you would not have the lumped problem. If this was really supposed to be discrete L and C elements there should have been more nodes defined to give order. regards, jon (ps: Len=0 is rather suspicious at any rate, that being impossible in a real world situation). -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of cat Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 4:37 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re : maybe something wrong in ebd defination? Oh, I am really eager to know the answer.And if you are not sure,I still hope you can communicate with me.If there is something wrong totally,please let me know. resend the message: I think the description of [path description]section of the ebd file is not detailed enough.I got confused when I meet such condition: Node A Len=0 L=2 C=1 Node B Should I represent it like this: B <---@@@@@----------|--------------->A L=1 | | === C=1 | --- or like this: B <-------|------------@@@@@------------>A | L | | =====C | --- By the way,should the capacitor be connected to ground or power? How to determine this ? In fact , I found many cases like the above one in the DIMM ebd file supplied by molex. Maybe both representation is just the same? Or there is some description I did not noticed?Or this is really a oversight? any response will be appreciated. cat cat_carl@xxxxxxxxx 2003-09-19 With best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
