%[S11,beta,ZL] = calcMSLPort( portstruct, SimDir, [f], [ref_shift] )
%
% Calculate the reflection coefficient S11, the propagation constant beta
% of the MSL-port and the characteristic impedance ZL of the MSL-port.
% The port is to be created by AddMSLPort().
%
% input:
%   portstruct: return value of AddMSLPort()
%   SimDir:     directory, where the simulation files are
%   f:          (optional) frequency vector for DFT
%   ref_shift:  (optional) reference plane shift measured from start of port (in drawing units)
%
% output:
%   S11:  reflection coefficient (normalized to ZL)
%   beta: propagation constant
%   ZL:   characteristic line impedance
