Help, can PSPICE calculate Y parameters?

Hi there:

I need to obtain Y parameter data (vs. frequency) of a two port RLC network. I am wondering if the pspice simulator can do this job. Thanks a lot.

Also I would like to know where I can find an impulse source in Pspice libraries? Your info will be appreciated.

libraries?

No matter what anyone tells you, it's not really feasible in practice. There's no sensible alternative to real measumrents with a network analyser.

You can get two-port Y-parameters directly simply by using the .STEP option along with macro calculations in probe.

Just study the Y-parameter equations for a few moments and you'll see how obvious it is... e.g. 1Gohm is an open and 1mohm is a short for all practical purposes.

You can obtain the S-parameters by using PSPICE and from them calculate the y-parameters.
