Hi Yuriy,
Thanks for your feedback, I looked into the vectfit Matlab / Octave script
and found it focuses on fits to Y or S parameter matrices.
I am interested in pole-zero fits to a transfer function, not full 2 port Y
or S parameter matrices.
Can I assume S11=S22=0 and S12=S21 with magnitude of S21 = transfer function
gain and phase of S21 = transfer function phase to obtain a reasonable
pole-zero fit or is more required to obtain a causal, stable model?  The
transfer functions typically are smooth functions with no discontinuities in
magnitude or phase versus frequency.  The actual networks are not passive
and I am primarily interested in the forward direction, not reflections.

Thanks,

Charlie
