Sonnet User’s Guide
You should notice the following about the results in above:
• The line which starts with “De-embedded” is a comment line which
describes the analysis results on the line below. In this example, the
results are de-embedded 50 ohm S-parameters in Touchstone
magnitude/angle format.
• The second line gives the analysis results.
• The remaining two lines give de-embedding information for each port in
the circuit. The various fields are defined as follows:
P#: Port number.
F: Frequency in units defined earlier in the results file.
Eeff: Effective dielectric constant of the transmission line connected to the port.
Z0: TEM equivalent characteristic impedance of the transmission line, in ohms.
R: Equivalent series resistance of port discontinuity, in ohms.
C: Equivalent series capacitance of port discontinuity, in pF.
