Is Eldo RF able to handle S parameters?
A – Yes. Eldo RF can extract S parameters from a steady state analysis (i.e. large signal). These S parameters can be displayed in a Smith chart within EZwave. Eldo and Eldo RF can also simulate blocks defined by their small-signal S parameters. For Eldo, it allows AC and transient simulations. For Eldo RF, it allows SST simulations. The S parameters are given using the TouchStone file format which is a ‘de facto’ standard. Any RF equipment may have measured these parameters. This can be useful to incorporate a representation of an antenna or any block with a linear behavior, without having to provide a transistor level representation.
