Thanks Fabrizio for the info.

Adulrahman, check out the following web site: http://www.stateye.org/[1]
It'sa free tool available for channel simulations. The Matlab simulation
toolI've used was provided by a chip vendor, I know of at least 3 vendors
whohave created such tools. Regards, Fabrizio -----Original Message-----

Matlab as the tool of choice for simulations of their SERDES devices. With
the Matlab tool it's possible to run simulations of channels including
decision feedback equalization (DFE), which is present in the latest SERDES
devices to minimize reflections and provide continuous equalization while
traffic is running. Using Matlab as a channel simulator also provides BER
contour plots, bathtub curves, etc. The required models for the channels are
S-parameter files in Touchstone format. The SERDES models are embedded in
thesimulator, so no models are provided to the customer. What are the
thoughts of the SI community on where this trend is going? Will EDA tool
vendors begin to integrate Matlab into their simulators? And how does this
impact the effort to create macromodels for SERDES devices? Thanks and
