Hi Daniel, That was a mistake while I drafted the mail. I used the same formula below only when I plotted.

You can see the unnecessary events till 10GHz. The "blue" plot was obtained by taking the original single ended S-parameter file and using formula S11DD=S(1,1)-S(1,3)-S(3,1)+S(3,3) Except return loss, all other parameters like insertion loss, FEXT, NEXT and ICR are giving expected results.

The S-parameter file from the connector vendor is single-ended and is correct without any issues. If I plot the differential Return Loss using formula in Synopsis Custom Waveview, there is no noise and the plot matches the one provided by the vendor. The problem arises when I use HSPICE to generate differential port S-parameter file from single-ended S-parameter file. Or I should say when I use P-element like below: "P1 1 3 0 Z0P port=1 P2 2 4 0 Z0P port=2" Please let me know if I query is still not clear. Thanks in advance.

Vendor provided a single ended S-parameter connector model for the same. When I use HSPICE port element(P-element) and .LIN command to convert the single ended parameter to differential and plot the Return Loss in Custom Waveview, I am getting very bad noise in the frequency range up to 10G (noise frequency of 100MHz). But if I use the original single ended S-parameter file directly and use port conversion formula (eg. S11DD= S11-S13+S31+S33 for each port) Then I am getting a clean Return Loss plot as the plot provided by the vendor. The port conversion using P-element is introducing noise in the generated differential S-parameter model. Can someone help me get around this issue? Please revert back if the question is not clear.
