rf toolbox "circuit" w/touchstones?

2 views (last 30 days)
I am curious about analysis with s-parameters using the 'circuit' function from the rf tool box.
Is it possible to place rlc loads and other topologies on the pins of an arbitrary size touchstone file?

Yes! It is indeed possible and quite simple. For an example, see at this MATLAB code:
%%Import the Touchstone file
sobj = sparameters('default.s16p');
%%Create a new circuit object
ckt = circuit('network');
%%Add the S-parameters to the circuit
add(ckt,[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16], sobj);
%%Terminate ports 3 to 16 on 50 Ohm
% Could be any other lumped elements
for i = 3:16
add(ckt, [i 0], resistor(50));
end
%%Compute S-parameters of ports 1-2
f = 1e9:50e6:5e9;
setports(ckt,[1 0], [2 0]);
S21 = sparameters(ckt,f, 50);
%%Plot results
Smag = 20*log10(abs(S21.Parameters(2,1,:)));
plot(f, squeeze(Smag),'bx');
hold on;
plot(sobj.Frequencies, 20*log10(abs(squeeze(sobj.Parameters(2,1,:)))));
I hope that this helps!
