Selecting the Matrix Display Format
The Solutions dialog offers a range of formats for the Matrix display. The available formats depend on the matrix type being displayed. When selected, dB formatting only applies to S -matrix data, even if other matrix types are displayed. The column heads in the display identify the format for the matrix type. You can display matrix data in the following formats.
|
Magnitude, Phase (deg) |
Displays the magnitude and phase (in degrees) of the matrix type. |
|
Real, Imaginary |
Displays the real and imaginary parts of the matrix type. |
|
dB, Phase (deg) |
Displays the magnitude in decibels and phase in degrees of the matrix type. |
|

|

After you select a format, choose whether to display terminal data or differential pairs.
In the Matrix Data tab of the Solutions window, open the Format tab to select the display format in one of two ways:
- Select the drop-down menus under the formats:
- right-click the column headings to display a pop-up format
menu.
- Selecting from this menu also adds the name of the selected format
to the column head, if the format is anything other than dB.
