Display Multi Port S-Parameter data

[ruckb]

Hi,

there are a lot of programs out to display 2 Port S-Parameter. But what I'm missing is a software that is able to plot Multi port S-parameter data. I would think of some kind of Matrix where you can just select any Port combination that you would like to be displayed by a matrix of boolean selectors. I guess Labview would be an ideal tool for implementing a method for displaying S11, S21, FEXT and NEXT. 

Does anybody know if there is an exisisting VI that allows to plot multiport S-Parameter data ?

Thanks and regards

Hi Hermann,

I don´t exactly get what you mean, since the S-Matrix that you have measured already shows

the Portx-Porty-Relation when looking at Sxy or Syx. But sure, you can display the values of the

S-Matrix in any fashion with LabVIEW by creating a custom cluster-based control, for instance.

But as far as I can see, there is no "special" example-vi on the web.

Hi Marco,

thanks for the Feedback.

Í understand, that everything is possible ... I just hoped, that I don't have to programm it on my own  ;-), as such a VI would be something many people could need.

There is a nice vi to display a TDMS file. I'm looking for something similar for S-parameters.

One Example: I do have two 10 Port S-Parameter sets from two different connector vendors and I would like to compare it. Not only displaying and comparing it, but also converting it from Single ended to Differential would be interesting. 

But I guess as you mentioned, that there is no "special" example vi on the web I have to implement it on my own  😞
