Hi there!

Never mind that:

The wave propagation speed in meter per second is the speed at which a wavefront (e.g. an acoustic signal or en electro-magnetic signal such as a radio wavefront, a light pulse in a fibre channel or a change of the electrical voltage on a copper wire) passes through a medium. The propagation speed for transmission in a vacuum, for example wireless communication, is the speed of light, meaning that the VoP of 1 (100%). In electrical cables, the speed mainly depends on the isolating material.

So, now you know.

In electrical cables, the speed mainly depends on the isolating material.

In my experience, specifying different isolation and jacketing material at manufacture seems to have small but identifiable spectral effects; and to some degree I believe that the transmission of the envelope, or "timing" of any set of complex waveforms - rather than just pure frequency and amplitude information-may vary minutely with frequency. And I haven't seen this modelled reliably yet. Thoughts, anyone?




Ah, another day. Hi, Sned. Is the kettle on?

... I haven't seen this modelled reliably yet. Thoughts, anyone?

I'll get Pygmy Hippo to have a go. He's got LOTS of Lego to build models with.

What's he like at economic models? I find the little red bricks very useful for representing changes in public sector payroll year-on-year.

Gives a good idea of the size of the bloodbath to come...

There's an excellent repository of bits and bobs from Jem and other Frost*ies stored away by the excellent Drarok at http://www.drarok.com/files/

No there isn't! I started working on a site at http://frost.drarok.com/ for people to contribute stuff to, but the stuff at the address you gave is just where I dump anything and everything, there happened to be some Frost* stuff in there, I have no doubt.

Perhaps you meant http://www.drarok.com/frost/ which is where I duplicated a load of stuff.

D'Oh, my bad.
Thanks for doing it though, it's been great to wander back through some stuff.

I keep meaning to tidy it up a bit, add a few files that aren't on there, but I get distracted so easily... :9
