The MathWorks introduced RF Blockset 2, which extends Simulink with a library of blocks to model the behaviour of linear and nonlinear radio frequency (RF) components—filters, transmission lines, amplifiers, and mixers—by supporting the widespread Agilent standards for large signal-scattering parameters in system-level verification models.

In addition to enabling access to industry-standard data file formats for network parameters and noise properties, such as S2P, Y2P, Z2P, and H2P, RF Blockset 2 lets engineers import system-level verification models in the S2D, P2D, and AMP formats that specify not only the network parameters and noise properties, but also the nonlinear properties of a component.
