We should also add here ICXPro (ELDO/ADMS) simulator from Mentor Graphics that 
allows pre-fit & post-fit passivity enforcement.
In this tool, passivity enforcement is not based on Hamiltonian matrices but on 
another approach that can cope with large passivity violations and allows 
individual choice of poles for different matrix components.

Since ELDO/ADMS combines the functions of fitter and simulator in one, it does 
not need to generate spice-format model. Instead, it generates re-usable table 
of poles/residues that is used for simulation directly instead of the original 
Touchstone data file.

Subject: [SI-LIST] Commercial S-Parameter to Rational Approx Spice Model s/w

As a follow-on to this morning's messages regarding commercial spice model 
generators enforcing passivity here is a short list of commercial s/w that has 
SI application that I've just updated.

Software that claims passivity enforcement in the generated models:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Optimal  Corporation   WideBand Convert
TDA MeasureXtractor
Sigrity BroadBand SPICE
EMWonder EMtoSPICE
CST  Microwave Studio
Cadence Allegro PCB SI 630


Does not efforce Passivity in the generated models:
----------------------------------------------------
Agilent ADS Spice Model Generator
Applied Simulation Technology SPAR


Unknown (to me) if passivity is enforced:
------------------------------------------
Ansoft Full-Wave Spice


If any of the above is in error or anyone is aware of additional software which 
fits the category under discussion please pass the info along.
