Problem arises in measuring currents and voltages at
microwave frequencies.
However they can be derived from measurable quantities
such as VSWR, reflection coefficient, power, etc.
The easiest parameters to measure are incident and reflected
power.
The optimum test conditions are when the two ports are
terminated in matched loads.
For describing and analyzing a microwave network the input
and output parameters are defined by scattering matrix.
Scattering Matrix 21
where,
S11 = parameter describing input.
S22 = parameter describing output.
S12 and S21 = parameters describing the network.

Hence, from above equations

In other words,
S11 = Return loss at port 1.
S22 = Return loss at port 2.
S12 = Isolation loss.
S21 = Insertion loss.
