simulate Z0 from s2p file
How can I know the Z0 from this s2p file ??
My simulation tool is Agilent ADS.
Here is an example of an S2P file for the Siemens BFP193 transistor. Locate the line
'# GHz S MA R 50'
The '50' means measurement have been carried out in a 50 ohm system. Which is the most common impedance used in S2P files.
! SIEMENS Small Signal Semiconductors
! BFP193
! Si NPN RF Bipolar Junction Transistor in SOT143
! VCE = 5 V IC = 12 mA
