How to calcute S-parameters in SPICE? - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Couls somebody tell me how to calculate/simulate S-parmeters of a electronic circuit in SPICE?

Thank you.

The only thing i could tell you is that in AVOSpice, for example, there is so-called s-parameters analysis. If you want i can give you a link to the site where you can download trial version for free

The following article describs how to display s-parameters in PSpice, in fact it is just a 'conversion' of the calculated voltage.
It is written in german, but the screenshots should be a great help.

Espero que te ayude.

Here is a link (in English) how to do it.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
