Re: USB connector model

Hi Ibisians, Matt,

  Matt thanks for giving the correct web address for the preliminary
connector specification.

FYI.. The only outstanding item in the connector specification is to agree
on the
wording of the RLC matrix description. I have asked several industry
experts to
write it and have not received one from anyone yet. If someone else out their
would like to contribute a technically correct RLC matrix description that
would
allow someone "skilled in the art" to understand which type of RLC matrix
is being
used I am interested. If I end up with more than one I would be extremely
happy.
It must have a simple included example of both a physical cross section and
the
resulting matrices. Ideally it would explain things like what the diagonal
is and
why there are sometimes negative signs.
When we receive this and the connector sub-group reviews it and accepts it
I believe we are ready to give it to the IBIS group as a bird.
