Re: [BP] EoBP Thru model Rev 5
Stephen, Howard,
In general, phase non-linearity is the source of pulse dispersion and
asymmetry. In fact any real, causal, lossy and dispersive channel (i.e.
copper) always has some non-linearity in the phase response (however
small).
Subtracting the linear term of the phase is equal to reducing the bulk
delay of the channel to zero (retains the pulse shape intact, though).
Considered another way, the linear component (of phase) is the baseline
for the group-delay variation plot we have been debating.

I think what you are seeing is related to the non-causal effects
that
I described in a previous e-mail to the reflector. This is being fixed.
I'll send out a new revision when it's done.
Thanks.
