What it sounds like your analog engineer wants is to be able to figure out how much bounce will occur in each plane relative to some external reference, such as the PCB Vss plane. In order to figure that out, you have to do a whole lot more than just produce s-parameters between one port inside the package and some other virtual port. Your analog engineer needs to be more specific about what he wants to figure out. Steve.
