Impedance Parameters - Relation To S-parameters

Relation To S-parameters

The Z-parameters of a network are related to its S-Parameters by

$\begin{align} Z &= \sqrt{z} (1_{\!N} + S) (1_{\!N} - S)^{-1} \sqrt{z} \\ &= \sqrt{z} (1_{\!N} - S)^{-1} (1_{\!N} + S) \sqrt{z} \\ \end{align}$

and

$\begin{align} S &= (\sqrt{y}Z\sqrt{y} \,- 1_{\!N}) (\sqrt{y}Z\sqrt{y} \,+ 1_{\!N})^{-1} \\ &= (\sqrt{y}Z\sqrt{y} \,+ 1_{\!N})^{-1} (\sqrt{y}Z\sqrt{y} \,- 1_{\!N}) \\ \end{align}$

where is the identity matrix, is a diagonal matrix having the square root of the characteristic impedance at each port as its non-zero elements,

$\sqrt{z} = \begin{pmatrix} \sqrt{z_{01}} & \\ & \sqrt{z_{02}} \\ & & \ddots \\ & & & \sqrt{z_{0N}} \end{pmatrix}$

and is the corresponding diagonal matrix of square roots of characteristic admittances. In these expressions the matrices represented by the bracketed factors commute and so, as shown above, may be written in either order.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

“In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; From the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God’s being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
