If the channel has an exponential impulse response, such as would be=0D= =0A obtained from a simple RC low-pass filter, then the 3dB bandwidth (BW)=0D= =0A of that channel is related (exactly) to the 10-90% risetime (t) of the=0D= =0A step response of the same channel by the formula:=0D=0A =0D=0A t =3D3D 0.35/BW this is an exact result - no approximation=0D=0A =0D=0A 2. If the channel has a gaussian impulse response, such as would be=0D=0A obtained from a cascade of a large number of low-pass filters with=0D=0A arbitrary response but conmensurate bandwidths, then the relationship=0D=0A between bandwidth and risetime is:=0D=0A =0D=0A t =3D3D 0.5/BW this is also an exact result=0D=0A =0D=0A For other channels the numerator in the above formula tends to be=0D=0A somewhere in between 0.35 and 0.5.=0D=0A =0D=0A =0D=0A Vicente=0D=0A =0D=0A > -----Original Message-----=0D=0A > From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx=3D20=0D=0A > [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Banas=0D=0A > Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 3:25 PM=0D=0A > To: rohitsharma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx=0D=0A > Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Rise time bandwidth relation =3D20 If you start= =0D=0A >with the assumption that your observed edge is=3D20 the result of an =0D= =0A >ideal edge having moved through some=3D20 composite channel with a =0D=0A >Gaussian shaped impulse response,=3D20 g(t), with "-3dB" bandwidth, B, = =0D=0A >then your observed edge,=3D20 s(t), will be the integral of that impuls= e=0D=0A =0D=0A >response:=0D=0A >=3D20=0D=0A > s(t) =3D3D3D Integral{g(t) dt} (1)=0D=0A >=3D20=0D=0A > If:=0D=0A >=3D20=0D=0A > G(w) =3D3D3D exp{-(a * w)^2} (2)=0D=0A >=3D20=0D=0A > Then:=0D=0A >=3D20=0D=0A > g(t) =3D3D3D exp{-(t/2a)^2} / 2*sqrt{pi * a} (3)=0D=0A >=3D20=0D=0A > B is found by setting G(w) =3D3D3D 0.707.
