IConnect S-parameter Wizard 6.1

IConnect S-parameter Wizard is a guided tool for building clean, simulation-ready S-parameter models of high-speed interconnects. It leads you through port setup, calibration, and de-embedding, and converts time-domain (TDR/TDT) or frequency-domain measurements into broadband S-parameters suitable for signal integrity and RF design. The wizard helps ensure model quality with validation plots and optional enforcement of passivity and causality, then exports results in standard formats for use in EDA and circuit simulators. It’s well suited for characterizing PCB traces, connectors, cables, packages, and complete serial channel assemblies.

Key capabilities:

• Step-by-step workflow for measurement import, port mapping, and fixture removal
• Support for single-ended, differential, and mixed-mode S-parameters
• Acceptance of TDR/TDT or swept-frequency data with optional windowing and smoothing
• De-embedding and calibration using reference standards or user-provided networks
• Passivity, causality, and reciprocity checks with optional enforcement
• Visualization of S-parameters, impedance, group delay, and time-domain responses
• Export to Touchstone (.s1p–.sNp) and mixed-mode formats compatible with major simulators
• Templates to repeat workflows across similar interconnects

Typical uses include modeling USB, PCIe, HDMI, and SerDes channels; validating test fixtures; correlating measurement and simulation; and preparing models for compliance and channel analysis.
