“…Multiport RF devices such as antennas, couplers and dividers may need to be designed by assembling several circuit stages (or blocks) where each one is separately optimized. [3][4][5][6][7] Multipin connectors currently developed to assemble PCBs and cables for the up-to-date ethernet communications up to 100 Gbps per single channel lane is another example. 8,9 From a modeling point of view the multiport S-parameters can effectively describe multilayer PCBs structure such as DDR4 memories, 5 signal busses [10][11][12] and vias [13][14][15][16][17] or signal integrity analysis effects such as crosstalk.…”

The complexity of electronic systems for RF and digital applications is ever increasing, and the corresponding compliance analysis for ensuring the required specifications in terms of performances, signal and power integrity is a challenging task often accomplished by relying on commercial circuit simulators. The modeling of multiport devices involves the assembly of electrical networks usually described in terms of S-parameter. This work proposes a new single-step algorithm that computes the global S-parameter matrix for a cascade of multiple networks with multiple ports without the need of any S-parameter transformation in T-parameters and their inverse transformation. The proposed method involves the construction of a large matrix filled with all S-parameters of all networks, and the subsequent evaluation of only one matrix expression. The proposed method is shown to be very efficient and reliable, since it can be easily automated without the need of a manual connections of tens or even hundreds of ports of the multiple blocks, which is an action that needs to be performed within a typical circuit simulator environment. Also, the proposed method overcomes the limitation of the standard method based on S-to-T parameter transformation since it is of general applicability to networks with different number of input and output ports. Examples involving the cascade of multiple 2-ports and multiports networks are considered, and the results are validated and compared with the reference results obtained from a commercial circuit simulator. The proposed method is shown to be effective and fast compared to its counterpart based on the T-parameters.

“…Figure 10 shows a conventional 15-element small-signal noise equivalent circuit (SSEC) used for transistor modeling. Elements of the SSEC were determined through the combined extraction technique [18]. Pad capacitances and lead inductances were extracted using the measured S-parameters of the deembedding test structures (open structure for Cpg and Cpd, short structure for Lg, Ld, and Ls).…”

We propose the techniques for automatic processing of measurement results in the context of golden (typical) device selection and noise figure measurement. These techniques are for golden (typical) device selection and noise figure measurement processing. Automation of measurement result processing and microwave element modeling speeds up a modeling routine and decreases the risk of possible errors. The techniques are validated through modeling of 0.15 μm GaAs pHEMTs with 4 × 40 μm and 4 × 75 μm total gate widths. Two test amplifiers were designed using the developed models. The amplifier modeling results agree well with measurements which confirms the validity of the proposed techniques. The proposed algorithm is potentially applicable to other circuit types (switches, digital, power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, etc.) but may require different settings in those cases. However, in the presented work, we validated the algorithm for the linear and low-noise amplifiers only.
