Patent ID: 8170820

Claim:
A method for generating one or more transfer functions for converting waveforms by a computer program stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer instructions store therein for causing the computer to perform a sequence of steps, the steps comprising the steps of: determining a system description, representative of a circuit, comprising a plurality of system components, at least one of the system components comprising a differential transmission line, each system component comprising at least one component characteristic, the system description further comprising at least one measurement node and at least one output node, each of the at least one measurement nodes representative of a waveform digitizing location in the circuit; determining one or more transfer functions for converting a waveform from one or more of the at least one measurement nodes to a waveform at one or more of the at least one output nodes; and storing the generated transfer functions in a non-transitory computer readable medium; whereby a transfer function of the one or more transfer functions is adapted to produce a waveform that is a substantially correct representation of a waveform that would be present at the location in the circuit represented by the at least one output node in accordance with at least one or more waveforms that would be present at the one or more measurement nodes.
