$)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.

AM Please respond to imsong91 P{margin-top:2px;margin-bottom:2px;} 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.
