Calculate Power Dissipated in Resistors During Optimization

[Tiberius]

I’m looking at optimizing a PI Pad network similar to the attached diagram. I would like to find a balance between power dissipated in the resistors and return loss. I’ve tried using wire labels as well as voltage and current probes to collect the required information; however, none of it ever seems to produce results – i.e. I can’t use them in an equation or plot them in a graph.

Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to achieve my goal or thoughts on mistakes I may have made?

Thanks!

This is still a topic of high interest to me if anyone has any thoughts/insight.
