Glen, Just to be clear I didn't encourage modeling trapezoidal edges, Gaussian, or square pulses. I wanted to help answer the question as to the use of the 0.35/Tr = BW, and the 1/Tr calculations that were mentioned and how misuse can affect the reproduction of the pulse if used incorrectly. Incidentally, CST uses 0.876/Tr = BW for their default Gaussian input.
