I am not sure if I simulated correctly the Q = 84 for 1.575 GHz in LTspice for Coilcraft inductance 0402DC 8.2 nF Model libraries for LTspice are here (lower right corner).

The next question is if it is possible to replace the trace expression to plot by function i.e. to define the expression in the schematic and use the function result as the expression to plot. I mean something like:

Q = (V(Vout)-V(n001))/Ix(U1ort2) and as "expression to plot" to use Q only.

 

hi Kevil,
We need the inductor model.

I think the coilcraft models have an issue with the coding for LTspice.
The laplace statement must contain static params only (besides "s" of course).
In addition, caret (^) character is an XOR function, so they would need to be replaced with ** to specify "to the power of".

I have attached the 0402DC.lib

 

Look at this example from the Coilcraft website.



The line beginning with G$Rvar1, G$Rvar2 have an incorrect character "^" and should be "**". LTspice produces an "cannot evaluate" message when simulating. Also notice there are only paramaters used in the LAPLACE statement (which is correct).
