Provide an option to disable transient model for RF port about qucs_s HOT 9 CLOSED

The result is not wrong. I am representing the S-par port as the sine source. The magnitude is calculated from P parameter. This is needed to simulate both transient and S-par response in one simulation without additional source connection. For example it is useful for linear amplifier analysis. The Qucsator simulation also follows such approach. This representation is needed to provide the backward compatibility between simulators. So, I cannot replace the port by 50-Ohm resistors. It is not subject of change or subject of discussion.

Unfortunately the result is wrong for simultaneous S-parameter and transient simulation, because the ac source contributes to transient excitation by the ac source default parameters P=0dBm and f=1MHz.

Potential solution: create new S-parameter port, which is consistent regarding source impedance and noise, but does not contribute transient excitation. The existing ac source ensures backward compatibility.

The simulation result is correct. Port is a sine source for transient. It provides frequency and magnitude defined as port parameters. Qucsator represents the port as the sine source for transient too. I can provide an options to disable the transient model. This will not affect the backward compatibility. The transient model will be enabled by default.

You may define ports manually using the SPICE syntax and generic voltage source that allows full SPICE string. The simulation will work. Refer to section 4.1.11 of the Ngspice manual. Use this device:

I have added TODO list and changed the issue title.

I have added an EnableTran option for RF port. This option is active by default. It EnableTran=false the transient model for RF port is disabled. The port is represented as dc 0 for transient analysis.

Excellent! - the final example RTF_N7 works perfect now simultaneous S-par and transient ... thx

Network for a distributed amp?

It is a simplified equivalent model of a lossy transmission line.

It can be used as a low pass filter which is matched in the pass band AND stop band simultaneous, which is not the case for classical low pass filters. Other application is pulse shaping in the time domain.
