Dear all,
I have a 2-port DUT circuit. I connect port-1 is a input port and port-2 is a output port. I am using Spectre simulator. During S-parameter setting, it provides a box to select which port doing s-parameter simulation. I found that the Z or Y paramenter simulated result is different if I select just one port or two port in s-parameter simulation. Which result is correct?
I simulated the Y parameter under selecting input port in the s-parameter simulation. And then makes the equivalent circuit and uses it as output loading. I connect this equivalent circuit in my LNA output. The simulation result is same as the actual DUT connects in my LNA output. On the other hand, I simulated the Y parameter under selecting input and output port in the s-parameter simulation. Then makes the corresponding equivalent circuit and uses it as output loading. Also, I connect this equivalent circuit in my LNA output. The simulation result is dfferent as the actual DUT connects in my LNA output. So, it makes me confuse.
Thanks,
wccheng
