Syntax

s_params_mp = snp2smp(s_params_np)
s_params_mp = snp2smp(s_params_np,Z0,n2m_index,ZT)
s_params_mp = snp2smp(s_obj,n2m_index,ZT)

Description

s_params_mp = snp2smp(s_params_np) convert and reorder the single-ended N-port S-parameters, s_params_np, into the single-ended M-port S-parameters, s_params_mp. M must be less than or equal to N.

example

s_params_mp = snp2smp(s_params_np,Z0,n2m_index,ZT) convert and reorder the S-parameter data using the optional arguments Z0, n2m_index, and ZT that control the conversion.

The following figure illustrates how to use the optional input arguments to specify the ports for the output data and the termination of the remaining ports.

s_params_mp = snp2smp(s_obj,n2m_index,ZT) convert and reorder a S-parameters object, s_obj, into the single-ended M-port S-parameters, s_params_mp. M must be less than or equal to N.

Input Arguments

collapse all

S-parameters, specified as a N-by-N-by-K array , where K representing number of frequency points of a N-port S-parameters.

S-parameter object, specified as N-port scalar handle objects, which include numeric arrays of S-parameters.

Reference impedance of N-port S-Parameters, specified as positive real scalar in ohms.

n2m_index is a vector of length M specifying how the ports of the N-port S-parameters map to the ports of the M-port S-parameters. n2m_index(i) is the index of the port from s_params_np that the function converts to the ith port of s_params_mp. For example, the setting [1, 2] means that M is 2, and the first two ports of the N-port S-parameters become the ports of the M-port parameters. The function terminates any additional ports with the impedances specified by ZT.

Termination Impedance of the ports,ZT, specified as a scalar, vector, or cell array. If M is less than N, snp2smp terminates the N–M ports not listed in n2m_index using the values in ZT. If ZT is a scalar, the function terminates all N–M ports not listed in n2m_index by the same impedance ZT. If ZT is a vector of length K, ZT[i] is the impedance that terminates all N–M ports of the ith frequency point not listed in n2m_index. If ZT is a cell array of length N, ZT{j} is the impedance that terminates the jth port of the N-port S-parameters. The function ignores impedances related to the ports listed in n2m_index. Each ZT{j} can be a scalar or a vector of length K.
