If you start with the assumption that your observed edge is the result
of an ideal edge having moved through some composite channel with a
Gaussian shaped impulse response, g(t), with "-3dB" bandwidth, B, then
your observed edge, s(t), will be the integral of that impulse response:

        s(t) =3D Integral{g(t) dt}                              (1)

If:

        G(w) =3D exp{-(a * w)^2}                                (2)

Then:

        g(t) =3D exp{-(t/2a)^2} / 2*sqrt{pi * a}                (3)

B is found by setting G(w) =3D 0.707. We get:

        B =3D .0937 / a.                                        (4)

The "error function" (ERF() in Excel) is defined as:

        ERF(z) =3D (2/sqrt(pi)) * Integral_0-z{exp(-u^2) du}    (5)

and gives the area under the Gaussian curve from -z to +z, normalized to
1. (That is, ERF(Infinity) =3D 1.) ERF() can be used to find the =
integral
of g(t) by substituting "t/2a" from (3) in for "u" in (5). The "10-90%"
rise time of s(t) can be found by setting ERF(z) =3D 80%, solving for =
"u",
and then setting:

        risetime/2a =3D 2u                                      (6)

(This works because g(t) is symmetric about its peak, and the 20% of its
area that we're leaving out of the integral is precisely divided in
half: 10% before the integrated portion and 10% after, yielding the 10%
and 90% points in s(t), respectively. We have to double "u", due to the
way ERF() is defined. (i.e. - ERF(z) integrates over the range
[-z,+z].)) We get:

        u =3D 0.9                                               (7)

        rise-time =3D 2u * 2a =3D 3.6 * a                         (8)

and, using (4),

        rise-time =3D 0.337 / B                                 (9)
