Hello everyone, According to our discussion in the ATM teleconference today I would like to start a thread on this email reflector about the cross talk columns in the impulse_matrix. I believe we all agree that the restriction on pg. 185 in the current specification has to be removed: | The AMI_Init function may return a modified impulse response by modifying | the first column of impulse_matrix. If the impulse response is modified, | the new impulse response is expected to represent the filtered response. | The number of items in the matrix should remain unchanged. | | The aggressor columns of the matrix should not be modified. The question is what should replace it (if anything). The spec has to have enough information for the model makers and the EDA vendors so that models would work in the tools reliably, but we don't want to over-specify things either, otherwise we may paint ourselves into a corner. Ken graciously volunteered to start with a BIRD draft, but I would like to encourage everyone to offer suggestions so we could solve this problem adequately. The attachment contains the drawing we used in the ATM teleconference today to discuss this topic. Thanks, Arpad =====================================================================
