Hello Piyush-- The Touchstone Viewer that comes with HyperLynx and ICX allows you to change the reference impedance for your S-parameters. There is a "Re-Normalize" option under the Convert menu. --Pat Patrick Carrier Technical Marketing Engineer High Speed Design Mentor Graphics Corporation Patrick_Carrier@xxxxxxxxxx ph.

But I already have data with wrong input impedance. I want to change that to a different impedance value. "High-speed Digital system Design, Hand book of interconnects theory and design practice by Stephen hall, Garrett hall and James McCall" gives a method in appendix D.2. To convert S parameter to a impedance matrix and then subtract this value from each number. We should also verify that S11,S22 should nearly equal to zero. But how accurate will be this method when done in practice as actual impedance of trace will change with freq and S parameter file will have value for different freq but which impedance to subtract from that. Is there any tool with can help me with this? regards Piyush Bhatt Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
