import_touchstone_smatrix

ipkiss3.io.touchstone.import_touchstone_smatrix(filename, term_mode_map=None, unit=None)

Imports a Touchstone S matrix frequency sweep from a file

Parameters:

filename: str

filename to import

term_mode_map: dict

Maps (term, modenr) to TouchStone port_mode numbers. Use None for first attempting to derive from tool-specific parsing of the file header and when that fails assign default port names

unit: str

When specified, the sweep values will be converted to this unit. e.g. when the unit is ‘um’ the sweep_parameter_values will be in micrometer instead of the unit used in the touchstone file.

Returns:

smatrix: SMatrix1DSweep

1D S matrix sweep
