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.
