A component for a simulation tool, the component comprising means for defining a model of a circuit element, for example an inductor, capacitor or resistor. The defining means comprises a set of performance parameters, for example S-parameters, that define the performance of the circuit element over a range of frequencies. The parameter set is derived from the performance of the circuit element in a test environment, for example on a test substrate. The defining means further includes means for negating the effect on the parameter set of the test environment. The negating means is conveniently derived from a circuit model having a circuit topology derived from a circuit model of the test environment, but in which component values are negated in comparison with the corresponding component values of the test environment model.
A component for a simulation tool, the component comprising means for defining a model of a circuit element, said defining means including a set of parameters that define the performance of the circuit element over a range of frequencies, wherein said parameter set is derived from the performance of said circuit element in a first environment, said defining means further including means for negating the effect on said parameter set of said first environment.
A component for a simulation tool, the component comprising means for defining a first model of a circuit element, said defining means including a set of parameters that define the performance of the circuit element over a range of frequencies, wherein said parameter set is derived from the performance of said circuit element in a first environment, said defining means further including means for negating the effect on said parameter set of said first environment, said component further comprising means for defining a second model of said circuit element;
A method of modelling a circuit element, the method comprising creating a set of performance parameters for said circuit element by measuring the performance of said circuit element in a first environment;
A computer program product comprising means for defining a model of a circuit element, said defining means including a set of parameters that define the performance of the circuit element over a range of frequencies, wherein said parameter set is derived from the performance of said circuit element in a first environment, said defining means further including means for negating the effect on said parameter set of said first environment.
