Abstract
Method and apparatus for modeling a network are described in which a 1 port measurement is made on the network by inputting an excitation signal at one port of the network and recording the results reflected back to the port. A 1 port parametric model of the network is generated whereby as much information about the topology of the network is included in calculating initial values of the parameters. Then the values of the parameters of the 1 port parametric model are optimized by reducing the difference between the results of the measurement step and results calculated using the 1-port parametric model and the excitation signal.
