Hello:
I have found that when selecting the QW or L-pad attenuators and marking the option to include the S-parameter analysis block, the impedance of the output term was not$Z_0$ if $Z_0 \neq 50 \Omega$
This happened because these attenuator topologies were missing from slotSetText_Zin(). This function calls the calculation function in order to update the power dissipation data whenever the user changes$Z_0$ .
Steps to reproduce
Select a L-pad attenuator (or a QW attenuator) and set$Z_0 =75 \Omega$
Check the S-parameter box option
Paste the schematic in Qucs-S: The impedance of the output port is not$75 \Omega$ , but $50 \Omega$
Solution
Simply add QW and Lpad attenuators to slotSetText_Zin()
