Help, can PSPICE calculate Y parameters?

[bmx]

Hi there:

I need to obtain Y parameter data (vs. frequency) of a two port RLC
network. I am wondering if the pspice simulator can do this job.
Thanks a lot.

Also I would like to know where I can find an impulse source in Pspice libraries?
Your info will be appreciated.

You can obtain the S-parameters by using PSPICE and from them calculate
the y-parameters.

You can get two-port Y-parameters directly simply by using the .STEP
option along with macro calculations in probe.

Just study the Y-parameter equations for a few moments and you'll see
how obvious it is... e.g. 1Gohm is an open and 1mohm is a short for
all practical purposes.
