Hi, Chris,
If you transform into differential, you lose the (important) common mode
information.
If you are planning on using the extracted S-parameters in a commercial SI
tool, you might want to leave them in standard Touchstone format. A number
of companies already support Touchstone, even if they do not yet support the
full IBIS ICM spec.
Some tools can correct for passivity/causality (various approaches). But
you might want to at least check this yourself, since it can help catch data
problems.
Best regards,
Lynne

I have to admit I've never try this before but I am about to give it a =
shot myself so tell me I am crazy or worst trying.
1) If you have a TDR head, you should be able to do single ended TDR
and TDT.
2) If you treat your differential lines as 4 ports, you can measure
TDRxy and TDTxy on sequential pairs of ports while terminating the = other 2
ports with 50 ohm terminators.=20
3) If you invoke symmetry on the lines you just need to measure the
upper or lower diagonal of the matrix.
4) Do your FFT to transform the TDT/TDR to single ended Sxy parameters
5) Clean them up with your favorite SOLT error corrections methods
6) Transform the Sxy matrix into mix mode Sddcc matrix.
My questions are :
a) Can this be done ?
b) How "clean" do I need on the SOLT error corrections ? Can it be
skipped ?
c) Do I have to worry about passivity on these extracted parameters ?
