Can the four-port network analyzer export Touchstone s2p files?
How to export Touchstone s2p files?
Answer
Yes, you have two options for creating an s2p file with the network analyzer - regardless of the type of analyzer
you use (two-, three- or four-port).
a)
- Preset
- Make a full two-port calibration
- Select TRACE - TRACE FUNCTION - TRACE DATA - EXPORT COMPLEX DATA
- Select 'Select Ports ...' in the window and then select the two calibrated ports
- The network analyzer now saves the data as an s2p file
b)
- Preset
- Create four traces and choose S11, S21, S12 and S22 (in this example, we use ports 1 and 2)
- Select TRACE - TRACE FUNCTION - TRACE DATA - EXPORT COMPLEX DATA
- Select 'Select Ports ...' in the window and then select ports 1 and 2
- The network analyzer now saves the data as an s2p file
