Viewing Matrix Data in 2D and Circuit Reports

To view matrices computed for the S-parameters, impedances, and propagation constants during each adaptive, non-adaptive, or sweep solution:

  1. From the Project Manager window, right-click the solution setup of interest, then click Matrix Data to open the Solution Data window

The Matrix Datatab is selected.

  1. In the Design Variation field, specify the design with the matrices you want to view.

Optionally, choose a design variation solved during an Optimetrics analysis on the Set Design Variation window. This lists all the solved variations in the design.

  1. In the Simulation dropdown menu, select the solution setup and solved pass - adaptive, single frequency solution, or frequency sweep - for which you want to view matrices.
  2. Select the type of matrix you want to view: S-matrix, Y-matrix, Z-matrix, Gamma, or Z o (characteristic impedance.) The available types depend on the solution type.
  3. Select the format in which to display the matrix information. The available formats depend on the matrix type being displayed.
  4. Select the solved frequencies to display:

The data is displayed in the table. By default, wave ports are listed in alphabetical, then numerical order, just as they appear in the excitation tree. To change the port order, change setting for Default Matrix sort order in Electronics Desktop General options.
