S parameters of a connector!!
(1/1)
blackout123:
Hello everyone,
I am desperately trying to find the Scattering parameters of a connector. For that purpose, I designed two lines, one of length L and the other of length 2L.
First idea was to use the T parameters to find the connector’s S parameters and the idea was as follow:
Tmeasured_L = Tc Tline Tc
Tmeasured_2L = Tc Tline Tline Tc
And then: [Tmeasured_2L] * [Tmeasured_L]-1 = Tc Tline Tc-1 = Ta
                    [Tmeasured_L]-1 * Ta = Tc-1 Tc-1
and then invert everything and square root… this is the matlab code but the result cannot be correct

This is at least the fourth time you have posted the exact same question, previously under the user name RFbeginner.

I guess you were not happy with my answer:

Your equations are wrong.  That's why your program doesn't work.

Consider this:
You have two unknown two ports: Tc and Tline
These are passive and reciprocal, so for each one S12=S21
Tline is symmetric, so S11=S22
So you have 5 unknowns:
1.  Tc(S11)
2.  Tc(S21) = Tc(S12)
3.  Tc(S22)
4.  Tline(S11) = Tline(S22)
5.  Tline(S21) = Tline(S12)

You are measuring 2 symmetric devices, so S11=S22 and S12=S21 in your measurements.

So you have 4 knowns to get 5 unknowns.  It doesn't work.

You have to make some assumptions.  A common assumption is Tline is a perfectly matched 50 ohm line.
 S11=S22=0.

That eliminates one of your unknowns and gives you 4 knowns and 4 unknowns.  That is solvable.

Now you just need to do the math correctly.  It will be horribly messy algebra.
