Help, can PSPICE calculate Y parameters?

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.

No matter what anyone tells you, it's not really feasible in practice.
There's no sensible alternative to real measumrents with a network
analyser.

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.
