$)CInmyung;

Using raw S-parameter data in SPICE is somewhat painful. I used Matlab and
I loop shaped
the S21 which then I got the Transfer function. From transfer function I
created the RLC circuit
which then can be used in any simulator that recognizes the RLC circuit
(such as SPICE). I
modeled only the "Mag vs Frequency" and not the phase since in SerDes,
typically magnitude
of signal between Transmitter and Receiver is most important. The problem
with p-model or
T-model and in general transmission line, is that for 40 inch trace and
depending to frequency, you may
end up with more than 4000 passive elements. This takes too long a
simulation. Transfer Function
Behavioral Model (TFBM) is a way to go. I would of post some slides to
describe this but they are
telling si-list cannot take attachments like power point.

Hello,



I measured some PCB structures and Wafers by VNA to get the S-parameters.

As I know, there are many extraction algorithm in this world, right?

But I know only one technique which is EO's paper in 1992.

If anyone knows other methodologies, please reply me.



By the way, to compare the measured S-parameter with the simulated
S-parameter from circuit model,

I think that I have to do spice simulation. But I am not sure the spice can
extract S-parameter from

frequency dependant circuit models.

And which circuit model is more accurate, for example PI-Model, T-Model,
Telegraph Equation.?



Thank for your reading.
