4.1 Impedance and equivalent voltages and currents
• Equivalent voltages and currents
Microwave circuit approach
Interest: voltage and current at a set of terminals (ports), power flow
through a device, and how to find the response of a network

For a certain mode in the line, the line characteristics are represented by
it’s global quantities Zo, l.
Define: equivalent voltage (wave)  transverse electric field
equivalent current (wave)  transverse magnetic field
 voltage (wave)/current (wave) = characteristic impedance or
wave impedance of the line
and voltage  current = power flow of the mode
→ use transmission line theory to analyze microwave circuit
performance at the interested ports

5. Problems to use Z- or Y-matrix in microwave circuits

1) difficult in defining voltage and current for non-TEM lines
2) no equipment available to measure voltage and current in
complex value (eg. sampling scope in microwave range,
impedance meter <3GHz)
3) difficult to make open and short circuits over broadband
4) active devices not stable as terminated with open or short circuit
