MICROWAVE NETWORK ANALYSIS (PART II)
The Scattering Matrix
⚫ Consider an n – port network:
Each port is considered to be
connected to a Tline with
specific Z0.

The Scattering Matrix
⚫ There is a voltage and current on each port.
⚫ This voltage (or current) can be decomposed into the incident (+) and
reflected component (-).

The Scattering Matrix
⚫ The port voltage and current can be normalized with respect to the
impedance connected to it.
⚫ It is customary to define normalized voltage waves at each port as:
Vi +
Normalized ai =
incident waves Z 0i (4.3a) i = 1, 2, 3 … n

ai = I i

A specific element of the [S] matrix can be determined as:
Vi −
S ij = + [4.2]
Vj
Vk+ = 0 , for → k j
•Sij is found by driving port j with an incident wave Vj+, and measuring
the reflected wave amplitude, Vi-, coming out of port i.
•The incident waves on all ports except j-th port are set to zero (which
means that all ports should be terminated in matched load to avoid
reflections).
•Thus, Sii is the reflection coefficient seen looking into port i when all
other ports are terminated in matched loads, and Sij is the
transmission coefficient from port j to port i when all other ports are
terminated in matched loads.

Lossless networks
⚫ A lossless network happens when:
[s] = {[ s] }
* t −1
(4.6b)
⚫ It is also purely imaginary for lossless network (no real power can
be delivered to the network, e.g an ideal transformer)
⚫ A matrix that satisfies the condition of (4.6b) is called a unitary
matrix, which can be re-written as:
S S =1
