Abstract:
A method for determining values of scattering parameters (S-parameters) forming each of a plurality of models of a network, each model modeling behavior of the network relative to a separate one of a plurality of frequencies, the method comprising the steps of:a. applying at least one wideband stimulus signal to the network such that the network produces at least one wideband response signal as output in response thereto, where each wideband stimulus signal and each wideband response signal has a plurality of signal components, each of a separate one of the plurality of frequencies; b. generating a plurality of waveforms, each in response to a separate one of the wideband stimulus and wideband response signals, each waveform having a plurality of signal components, each of a separate one of said plurality of frequencies; and c. processing each waveform generated at step b to determine values of S-parameters forming each of said plurality of models.
