Please help.

The HSPICE .LIN analysis is a linear network analysis.  It is used to calculate noise and small-signal transfer parameters (i.e. S-parameters) between the terminals of a network.  The network terminals are identified by using the port element.

S-parameters are commonly used by RF and analog engineers to describe network characteristics.

Here is a link to one of the best application notes that I know of to explain what S-parameters are and how they are used.
