Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Zhenggang Apparently, you are working on S-Parameter data converted from TDR. If you want to use S-Parameters as your model for simulation it is reasonably accurate. A much simpler method is avaiable using ADS. Convert the TDR data to a time/amplitude columns vs Time Import the data into ADS Model the circuit using transmission line elements with Frequency Dependent Loss View the measured TDR and simulated TDR on the same screen Adjust the parameters of the ADS models and simulate Continue adjusting the parameters unti the model matches the measrued TDR This provides a model that cannot be faulted. So then the eye pattern can be easily simulated with accurate models.
