   In order to improve and accelerate the microelectronic device models identification, the S-parameter simulation software - SOPT was developed. It uses an unconventional but effective method for the simulation of S-parameters. This method allows to calculate S-parameters related to the real as well as complex reference impedances, which can be different on each port of the simulated circuit. The simulated circuit is optional, given by an input text file. The SOPT software includes effective optimization routines for identification of the equivalent circuits from S-parameter measurements of a given device, measured in a wide frequency range.
