Could anyone show an actual circuit example using the even-odd mode analysis concept ?

By the way, I am reading this useful textronix TDR impedance measurement application note

rfeecs:
It is used all the time in analyzing differential pairs, like the inputs to op-amps.  Same as differential mode / common mode.  It is mentioned on the last page here:
http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~jstiles/723/handouts/Odd%20Even%20Mode%20Analysis.pdf

Also used in analyzing coupled transmission lines:

https://www.ewh.ieee.org/r5/denver/rockymountainemc/archive/2000/diffimp.pdf

And coupled line structures like directional couplers:

An example would be a VNA with a single measured port and an open/short/terminated far port.  A single port is just an impedance, but by seeing how that impedance changes due to the far port's impedance, you obtain the transfer characteristics (s21).

This would only work if you were measuring a reciprical network (S21 = S12).  Then you have three measurements and three unknowns.

For an amplifier or a network with isolators / circulators, it won't work.

Also, I don't see how this is an example of even / odd mode analysis.

I just found this nice article about even-odd mode analysis for Wilkinson Power Divider

Before reaching the even-odd mode analysis, I am bit confused with slides 10 and 11.

For slide 10, why "250-ohm transmission line loads in parallel" ?

For slide 11, why "quarter-wave transformer could convert RS to 2RS so we can match input ports" ?
