1. Introduction
 [Z],[Y] or [ABCB] are not preferred to use for microwave networks.

om
 Open and short conditions are difficult to achieve at microwave  error in

.c
measurement.
 Open and short terminations may make active circuits unstable (oscillation)  error or

ng
cannot meas.

co
 Microwave circuit analysis and design are based on the transmission & reflection of

an
waves. [Z] or [Y] do not reflect these natures.

th
 Impedance and admittance matrices relate the total voltages and currents at the ports.
 At microwave regime: Voltages, currents and power are represented in term of incident
ng
and reflect qualities.
o
du

 S-parameters matrix, defined in terms of traveling waves, is used instead.


 The scattering matrix represents the relation between the voltage incident waves on the
u
cu

ports to voltage reflected wave from the ports.


 S-parameters are measured with matched loads rather than open- or short-circuits.
 At microwave frequencies, matched loads are relatively easy to realize.
 S-parameters are measured using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).
