Farooq,
If you extracted 4-port S-parameters, and if your differential input is
applied to ports 1 and 2 (3 and 4 are ouput ports) then make sure that
S13 and S24 (and their symmetrical twins S31, S42) are large enough -
ideally close to 1 at low frequency if there is no series capacitors),
while the rest start from relatively small values.
With input output pairs numbered as (1,3) and (2,4), you will have to
check the magnitudes of S12 and S34 instead.
In case of 2-port extrastion, the 'large' values at low frequency are
expected for S12/S21.
Please also take in mind that magnitude itself does not mean validity of
the data: it still can be non-causal and fail in Spice simulation. You
need to verify that the polar plot shows clockwise rotation.
If you have difficulty to do that and if you think your S-parameters do
not contain IQ, send them to me so I can evaluate them.
Vladimir

First thing that we checked.
Then we had the Cadence support generate it for us to be sure.

Farooq,
First I would check the port assignment (port numbering) to make =
sure=3D20
that the diff pair is hooked up the same way in the HSPICE =
simulation=3D20
that was assumed in S-parameter extraction.
Regards,
Istvan
