Discrepancy in Transmission coefficients using DFT monitor and s params group

      Dear Sir/Madam, 

      I have used the s params analysis group, to calculate the s and s polarization and transmission coefficients. When I use the transmission monitor, I get a plot as shown below



      Then, I have used the result S from the s_params analysis group to calculate the T for the x polarised incidence. I have done the abs(s12)^2, I got the following plot,
       

      As far as I know, if we have to measure the transmission coefficients, we must do the abs(S_12)^2. But why do I get such a discrepancy? Can you shed some light on it?

      Thank you.

      Hi,

      Yes, I believe the results should be the same. Is the resolution of data/number of points used to plot the graph in both cases same?

      Regards,
      Amrita
