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:

“You must realize that I was suffering from love and I knew him as intimately as I knew my own image in a mirror. In other words, I knew him only in relation to myself.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
