MW Lec-Scattering Matrix
Like the impedance or admittance matrix for an N-port network, the scattering matrix provides a
complete description of the network as seen at its N ports. While the impedance and admittance
matrices relate the total voltages and currents at the ports, the scattering matrix relates the voltage
waves incident on the ports to those reflected from the ports.
An arbitrary N-port
microwave network.
Prob: Find the scattering parameters of the circuit shown in Figure. Consider the characteristic
impedance of line as 50 Ω.
S11 can be found as the reflection coefficient seen at port 1 when port 2 is
terminated in a matched load (Z0 = 50Ω).
We can find S21 by applying an incident wave at port 1, and
measuring the out coming wave at port 2.

Example: A 40 mW microwave signal is fed to arm 3 of E-plane tee by a matched genitor. Arm 1 and
Arm 2 are terminated, respectively in 40 Ω and 60 Ω loads. The guide wave impedance is 50 Ω. Find the
power delivered to the loads.
Solution: P1 = 19.75 mW, and P2 = 19.83 mW (By ignoring multiple reflections)
P1 = 20.19 mW, and P2 = _____ mW (With S-matrix)
