Leonard, the resonance amplitude and frequency are both distance dependent. This is the real result of the distributed nature of planes. Pull my DesignCon 2005 paper for actual measurements on a test board. Regards, Steve. At 02:43 PM 9/20/2006, Leonard Dieguez wrote: >I'm getting unexpected results.
