Re: Frequency Domain and Noise Domain

Dear all,
First, I would like to thank you all for pointing out this. I would like to
apologize for all of you. May be what I did because I didn't find another
forum or mail-list that deal with VHDL-AMS. But with the site sent by Marq
bole, this would be a very good forum to work in.

After  I appologized, I just want to point out that the last topic was
deeply involving VHDL-AMS standard. I was discussing the issue of how the
VHDL-AMS should handle different definitions of the element depending on the
domain of analysis while only availiable domains is : Frequency Domain,
Quiescent domain or transient domain. While all doesn't involve noise.
Let's look at a typical example, we all know the resistor. we know that a
resistor network in AC analysis will give just a flat output. While in noise
there are noise effects which will appear with proper modelling.

Finally, I want to appologize again for discussing an issue not in the
approperiate place, thank you for helping.

Best regards,
Amro Tork
