Hi Istvan, Do you know if someone analyzed limitation and accuracy the Peak Distortion Analysis? Comparing it to the recursive convolution for instance (exact solution for pricewise linear signals).

You start from the Impulse response (simulated, or obtained from your S parameters), calculate the Pulse response and finally the Peak Distortion Analysis eye. Among others, it gives you the passive channel deterministic jitter. Most commercial tools will do this one way or the other, but the process is simple enough that in my training courses I demonstrate it with Excel macros.
