Hello Everyone, I am a recent graduate trying to get some insight into signal integrity. My first task is to model a connector using SPICE. It seems like the easiest approach considering what I have available is to first find the S-Parameters for the connector using a Network Analyzer and then use the S-Parameters to go from the parameters to a SPICE model using a software tool. I would appreciate it if you could give me some insight on the following. 1- Is this a valid and reliable approach and if you can propose better approaches to me. 2- If this is a valid approach, are there any special facts I need to keep in mind to avoid problems or to smoothen the process 3- Can you suggest any software (preferably evaluation software) that I can use to go from S- Parameters to SPICE model 4- What tool should I use to simulate the SPICE model for high speed signal integrity tests (what software) and what should I try to achieve from this simulation and what kind of data should I gather I would highly appreciate your sharing of expertise and ideas.
