Dr. Sayre is well aware of the broadband requirements of digital
signalling. His example is not for direct application. It's a
case in which a microwave technique provides a caution against
a dispersive delay effect, one of which many digital designers
will be unaware. There are several other basic physics principles,
long known in non-sexy fields such as microwaves, which digital
designers are only now discovering through painful experience.
