NPORT file path

armenhr

Dear Community,

I wonder if I can set the S-parameter data file path parameter in the schematic as variable and sweep it among discrete values.

Sample scenario: Some data link has an input power dependent characteristics which are modelled 1mm.s3p 2mm.s3p 3mm.s3p, which corresponds to 15 12 and 9 dBm of input power.

I want to do a parametric sweep grouping this two parameters. Anyway, cadence does not accept file path as a variable.

Could you please help me with that?

Best Regards,

Armen

    Hi Armen,

    I suggest you use a recent-ish version of IC617 (I think it was added during IC617) and use nport rather than n3port (you can specify three ports). Then there's a checkbox to allow you to specify it as a variable:

    This stops the component being netlisted with quotes around the file name, and allows you to parameterise it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
