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 ??

Rajan
