Programs like SPICE can analyze circuits using z, y, s, and abcd parameters, with the .NET statement in SPICE being particularly useful for these calculations. Users can verify their manual calculations by utilizing software tools designed for circuit analysis. LTSPICE is recommended as a reliable SPICE application for this purpose. The discussion emphasizes the importance of confirming parameter values in microwave circuit analysis. Overall, leveraging software can enhance accuracy and efficiency in circuit parameter determination.

Hey all,

Is there some sort of program that allows one to analyze circuits in terms of z, y, s, and abcd paramaters? A lot of my microwave course revolves around analysis in this fashion, and I want to ensure that I am determining the correct paramaters for a given set up.

As an example, in the image we have a transistor with a resistor. The transistor (alone) has the impedance matrix shown in the image. Is there a program that can tell me the z, y, s, abcd parameters of the circuit as an entirety? I can do it by hand, but I'd like to check my answers.

Thanks in advance,

sandy

Yes, the .NET statement in SPICE will compute all of that. I confess I have never used the .NET statement...
If you need a SPICE app, google "LTSPICE".
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
