More Admittances 
Opens a dialog to select converted, matched-circuit admittances for more ports or balanced port 
measurements. 
The notation for admittance parameters and the functionality of the More Admittances dialog is 
analogous to the definition of S-parameters. 
• Y<— selects the type (left pull-down list) and the port number assignment (right pull-down list) 
of the admittance parameter. Mixed mode parameters are only available if a balanced port 
configuration is active. They are expressed as Y
<mout><min>
, where <mout> and <min> denote the 
output and input port modes. The port numbers are assigned in the order Y
<out>< in>
, where 
<out> and <in> denote the output (response) and input (stimulus) port numbers of the DUT.  
• Balanced and Measured Ports opens the dialog of the same name to define the properties of 
the test ports. Single-ended (unbalanced) admittance parameters are assigned to the physical 
test ports of the analyzer. Balanced admittance parameters are assigned to logical test ports. 
Selecting a balanced port configuration with logical test ports means that the balance-
unbalance conversion is switched on and that the analyzer provides mixed mode parameters.   
• The graphics above the Balanced and Measured Ports button illustrates the current port 
configuration.  
The port configuration is valid for all traces in the channel 
The settings made in the Balanced and Measured Ports dialog are channel settings and therefore apply 
to all traces assigned to the channel (Balanced and Measured Ports is also accessible through Channel 
– Mode– Port Config...). Within a channel the analyzer measures either single-ended or mixed mode 
parameters. If a balanced test port configuration is selected the single-ended parameters assigned to 
the channel are converted into mixed mode parameters. 
The relation between the generalized (multiport and mixed mode) admittance parameters 
and the S-parameters is analogous to the 2-port case and follows from the relations for 
impedance parameters.
