Steve, You are right !! Our analog engineer basically wants to see ground bounce w.r.t pcb ground which was not possible with single s-parameter but you said that I have to do whole lot more than just produce s-parameters between one port inside the package and some other virtual port. Can you help me to understand that why separate s-parameter is not sufficient to see ground bounce and what is the right way to handle such problems ??
