Parametric Analysis over EM Simulated S-parameter Data

HamidKhatibi

Hi

I have employed HFSS to Em simulate some designed transmission lines with different lengths. Now I use them in Cadence-Virtuoso in NPORT and it works easily. I have named the data files such as TL100, TL105,TL110, ... and I have completed the sweep for 5u increment.

The problem is that I need to be able to sweep over these TLs. i.e. I want to be able to use ADE-L>Tools>Parametric Analysis in order to sweep over the existing lengths of the transmission line. However, in NPORT I have to type the full name of my data file and hence I have no idea how to do that.

Is there any way to do this kine of sweeping?

Thanks

Hamid

  • I have successfully used the following workaround to define the nport file name as a variable: Leave the field "S-parameter data file" empty and enter file=filename in the field "Additional parameter list" (under "Rarely used parameters"). Then define a variable named filename; the value of this variable is the path to your S-parameter data file with quotes around it ("..."). Of course, you can also use a different name for the variable, it just has to match the name in the "Additional parameter list".
