s-param ports problem in Goldengate s-param simulation

yefJ
yefJ over 6 years ago

Hello, i am trying to simulate my inductor s-param with goldengate . i have built the schematics and defined the simulation as shown bellow.

but it says that i havent defined sparam ports although i did defined  them in schematics .

i have added the error and the full log bellow.

i know that goldengate is a keysight product but my error is in the schematics step.

if still its beyong the scope i will try with spectre.

Thanks.

    This is a Keysight issue. The error is coming from the simulator, but the issue may well be with the GoldenGate simulator interface which is also from Keysight. It's not a schematic issue.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
