Dear friends, I am working on converting w element to S parameters. First I have to handle the RLGC matrix. That is, originally the diagonal in C matrix Cii equals the sum of Cig and Cik, therefore value Cik must be removed. My question is, how about the G matrix? The off diagonal terms in G matrix might be positive or negative, how could I subtract Gik from Gii to get Gig? I think there is no need to do the same action for R and L matrix, is it correct? (Because they are series components in distributed transmission line model.) Currently, my program works for 1 conductor case (2 ports), and it had good correlation with the S parameter extracted by using p-element in spice, but it is wrong when trace number geater than 1. I think the problem is the RLGC matrix handling, since when trace number greater than 1, mutual terms present. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
