Greetings Jennifer,

I do not know of an elegant method.  For simple structures, you might be
better off constructing an R, L, C, TL model that more or less matches
your S-parameters. Again - if it is a simple structure this process can
be pretty quick.  Once you get to several coupled elements or
electrically rich structures - well then it gets too messy.

Good Luck -

Dear all,

I have non-passive non-causal S-parameter. I can use some commercial  
tools that can generate broadband spice with passivity enforcement.  
Not with causality enforcement, though.

In transient simulation it clearly shows non-causal response.

Does anybody know how to resolve this issue? Quick and dirty solution  
will also be appreciated.

Many thanks.
