hi, jbdavid thank you for your interest in this problem. Let me explain in more detail. To use a s-parameter model in spectre, we have to use 'nport' element of analogLib, and also we should specify interpolation method which will be used by the simulator to simulate the 'nport' element. You said, "Transient you can use sp data directly.. ", seemingly, you are right, but in fact, for transient simulation, the simulator has to first translate the s-parameter date into time-domain data(by using some kind of interpolation method), and then carry out the transient simulation. Am I right? Ken. The simulation results are different. The input is a step excitation, so after transient response, the output should be equal to the input, but with spline interpolation method, the output is not equal to input, (that is not simulation accuracy problem), so I think spline interpolation method might has some problems. Rational method shows reasonable result, but it's transient response is different with Hspice simulation result. The transient process is very important to me, so I have to make sure which simulator is correct.
