Evaluation of S-Parameters Similarity with Modified Hausdorff Distance

Abstract: A new similarity measure for two sets of S-parameters is proposed. It is constructed with the modified Hausdorff distance applied to S-parameter points in 3D space with real, imaginary and normalized frequency axes. New S-parameters similarity measure facilitates automation of the analysis to measurement validation, comparison of models and measurements obtained with different tools, as well as finding similar S-parameter models or similar elements within S-matrices.
