N-Port Model
The N-Port model in Micro-Cap provides a way to easily include S, Y, Z, G, H, T or ABCD parameter data from RF suppliers in a simulation. The N-Port model imports in a Touchstone data file containing tables of data that define the specified parameter values versus frequency. While the 2-Port is the most common use of a Touchstone file, any number of ports may be imported in Micro-Cap. These text files are available from many companies such as Siemens and Infineon. With the capability to produce Smith charts and polar plots in AC analysis, creating plots of data such as S parameters is easier and more powerful than ever. Micro-Cap also contains a translator that provides the capability to convert Touchstone files from one parameter format to another.
