/* Network Analysis */
For amplitude graphs, you have the option to plot them in Decibels (dB) scale. For phase graphs, you have the option to express them in degrees. You also need to specify which parameter set to calculate as the output of network analysis. The four options are Z, Y, S or H.

As an example, consider the simple RLC circuit of Tutorial Lesson 2, which is shown here in the opposite figure. First, we treat this circuit as a one-port network, with its port established at the voltage source. The characteristic or reference impedance Z0 is set to its default value of 50 Ohms. The frequency sweep is set from 1MHz to 1GHz on a decade scale with 50 points per interval. The figures below show the Z/Y/S parameters of this one-port network plotted on both Cartesian graphs and Smith chart.
