Equal and opposite currents are assumed on the two wires of a port. Multiport Networks A general circuit can be represented by a multi-port network, where the “ports” are defined as access terminals at which we can define voltages and currents. Note: Equal and opposite currents are assumed on the two wires of a port. Examples: 1) One-port network 2) Two-port network

Multiport Networks (cont.) 3) N-port network Note: Passive sign convention is used at the ports.

Multiport Networks (cont.) N-port network To represent multi-port networks we use: Z (impedance) parameters Y (admittance) parameters ABCD parameters S (scattering) parameters Not easily measurable at high frequency Measurable at high frequency

Two-Port Networks Consider a 2-port linear network: + - In terms of Z-parameters, we have (from superposition): Impedance (Z) matrix Therefore

Elements of Z-Matrix: Z-Parameters Port 2 open circuited Port 1 open circuited + -

Z-Parameters (cont.) N-port network We inject a current into port j and measure the voltage (with an ideal voltmeter) at port i. All ports are open-circuited except j.

Admittance (Y) Parameters Consider a 2-port linear network: 1 2 + - Admittance matrix or

Y-Parameters (cont.) N-port network We apply a voltage across port j and measure the current (with an ideal current meter) at port i. All ports are short-circuited except j.

Relation Between Z and Y Parameters Relation between [Z] and [Y] matrices: Hence: It follows that Therefore

Example of a nonreciprocal material: a biased ferrite Reciprocal Networks If a network does not contain non-reciprocal devices or materials* (i.e. ferrites, or active devices), then the network is “reciprocal.” Note: The inverse of a symmetric matrix is symmetric. (proof omitted) * A reciprocal material is one that has symmetric permittivity and permeability matrices. A reciprocal device is one that is made from reciprocal materials. Example of a nonreciprocal material: a biased ferrite (This is very useful for making isolators and circulators.)

(not a reciprocal material) Reciprocal Materials Reciprocal: Ferrite: is not symmetric! (not a reciprocal material)

Reciprocal Networks (cont.) We can show that the equivalent circuits for reciprocal 2-port networks are: T-equivalent “T network” Pi-equivalent “ network”

There are defined only for 2-port networks. ABCD-Parameters There are defined only for 2-port networks.

Cascaded Networks Port 1 Port 2 A nice property of the ABCD matrix is that it is easy to use with cascaded networks: you simply multiply the ABCD matrices together.

Scattering Parameters At high frequencies, Z, Y, and ABCD parameters are difficult (if not impossible) to measure. V and I are not always uniquely defined (e.g., microstrip, waveguides). Even if defined, V and I are extremely difficult to measure (particularly I). Required open and short-circuit conditions are often difficult to achieve. Scattering (S) parameters are often the best representation for multi-port networks at high frequency. Note: We can always convert from S parameters to Z, Y, or ABCD parameters.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is usually used to measure S parameters. Port 1 Port 2 Keysight (formerly Agilent) VNA shown performing a measurement.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) For scattering parameters, we think in terms of incident and reflected waves on transmission lines connected to a device. The a coefficients represent incident waves. The b coefficients represent reflected waves.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) On each transmission line: We define normalized voltage wave functions:

Scattering Parameters (cont.) Why are the wave functions (a and b) defined as they are? (assuming lossless lines, so Z0 is real) Similarly, Recall:

For a one-port network, S11 is the same as L. Recall:

A Two-Port Network From linearity: Scattering matrix or

Scattering Parameters Output is matched input reflection coef. w/ output matched reverse transmission coef. w/ input matched forward transmission coef. w/ output matched output reflection coef. w/ input matched Input is matched Output is matched Input is matched

Scattering Parameters (cont.) For a general multiport network: All ports except port j are semi-infinite with no incident wave (or with matched load at ports). N-port network We send in an incident wave on port j and measure the outgoing wave on port i, when all lines are semi-infinite (or terminated in a matched load), and thus there is an incident wave only on port j.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) Illustration of a three-port network To Illustrate:

Scattering Parameters (cont.) Illustration of S21: Semi-infinite

Scattering Parameters (cont.) A microwave system may have waveguides entering a device. In this case, the transmission lines are TEN models for the waveguides. Device TE10 Waveguide TEN

Scattering Parameters (cont.) Shift in reference plane: The concept is illustrated for a two-port network, where, e.g., i = 1 and j = 2.

Example of a nonreciprocal material: a biased ferrite Properties of the S Matrix For reciprocal networks (networks containing only reciprocal materials), the S-matrix is symmetric: Example of a nonreciprocal material: a biased ferrite

Properties of the S Matrix (cont.) For lossless networks, the S-matrix is unitary*. Identity matrix Hence, Alternate notation: (a “unitary” matrix) (“Hermetian conjugate” or “Hermetian transpose”) *A proof is in the Pozar book.

Properties of the S Matrix (cont.) Start with the first part of the unitary equation: N-port network

Properties of the S Matrix (cont.) Interpretation: The inner product of columns i and j is zero unless i = j. The rows also form orthogonal sets (this follows from starting with the second part of the unitary equation). S1 vector S3 vector Physical interpretation: All of the power outgoing on the ports is equal to all of the power incident on the ports.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) Note: If all lines entering the network have the same characteristic impedance, then In this case, there is no difference between normalized and unnormalized scattering parameters. In general: “unnormalized” scattering parameters “normalized” scattering parameters Note: The unitary property of the scattering matrix requires normalized parameters. We use normalized parameters in these notes.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) Important Note: The S parameters depend on Z0. (The Z and Y parameters do not.) Example: The device is a section of transmission line.

Scattering Parameters (cont.) A general formula for converting from Z parameters to S parameters is: (This assumes all transmission lines are identical with characteristic impedance Z0.) Note: The derivation is in the Pozar book.

Example (cont.) Because of continuity of the voltage across the junction, we have: so Hence

Example Not unitary  lossy These are the S parameters assuming 50  lines entering the device. Not unitary  lossy (For example, column 2 doted with the conjugate of column 3 is not zero.) Find the input impedance looking into port 1 when ports 2 and 3 are terminated in 50 [] loads. Find the input impedance looking into port 1 when port 2 is terminated in a 75 [] load and port 3 is terminated in a 50 [] load.

Signal-Flow Graph This is a way to graphically represent the S parameters. Please see the Pozar book for more details. The wave amplitudes are represented as nodes in the single-flow graph. (wave amplitudes evaluated at zi = 0) Rule: The value at each node is the sum of the values coming into the node from the various other nodes.
