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

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

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
