Hi, I just have somewhat of a quick question about simulating with S-parameters.
Say you have a cascade of 2-port devices and you do a S-parameter analysis, perhaps with CST or matlab or any other program.
What I have noticed is that you seldom get S-parameters for all devices that lies within the same frequency range, (typically one ranges from ie 1 - 5 GHz, while another goes from 2 - 4 Ghz) moreover they may not have the same step in frequency between measures.( ie, one component has data values (dB and phase) at 1GHz, 1.2 Ghz, 1.4 Ghz etc , while another component has data values at 0.9Ghz, 1.1Ghz, 1.3Ghz etc.)
So my question is, does this in any way impede the analysis of the simulation? Or will most simulators deal with this well enough?
