In a class given recently by Eric Bogatin, a student was puzzled by the ideal transmission line in ADS. Microwave folk specify electrical length as phase shift in degrees at a certain reference frequency. But what if you want to specify the same physical component in terms of delay in nanoseconds? No problem! ADS lets you [...]

My hope for this straw poll is that we can form a collective opinion about information sources about signal integrity. Vote for your favorites then see the tally so far in real time. It isn’t scientific, but I think it will give a good feel for the answer. Comments on this (and any other postings) [...]
