Piyush, Time-domain response must be a real function of time. If it is computed with the inversed Fourier transform of the complex frequency domain response, the TD response is be always real if the imaginary part of FD response is odd and real part is even. It is the TD response realness condition. We do not use negative frequency in analysis of interconnects, but the condition at DC is useful to control quality of S-parameters: imaginary part and derivative of real part of FD response must be zero at DC.

As derivation goes h(t)=h(t)sgn(t).Taking Freq transform both side and doing some manipulations.We get to point that H(jw) = Hilbert transform of itself. Then they say we can divide H(jw) into real and imaginary part.And real part will be even function and imaginary part will be odd function. Can you tell me why real part will be even function and imaginary part will be odd function? regards Piyush ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list 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 forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
