Single- and Multiport Networks
RF Electronics Spring, 2018
Robert R. Krchnavek Rowan University
Objectives
• Generate an understanding of the common network representations of Z, Y, h, and ABCD.
• To be able to obtain matrix parameters by suitable tests on the networks.
• To be able to convert from one network representation to another.
• Understand the implications of interconnecting networks.
• Develop a working knowledge of S-parameters.
Single- and Multiport Networks
• Single- and multiport network representations consist of input/output relationships without knowing the internal network.
• The relationships can be determined experimentally.
• Provides a means of designing/analyzing networks with overall system performance in mind.
• Very important in RF/MW work because detailed modeling of individual devices requires complex EM work.

Z-Matrix Representation
Each element in the Z-matrix is determined as follows
Note: This involves setting the current on all the other ports equal to 0. This is done using an open circuit.
Recall, true open circuits are difficult to create at RF/MW frequencies because of capacitance.

Interconnecting Networks
• Networks can be connected to other networks to create larger networks.
• The larger network representations can often be determined by the interconnection pattern of the sub-networks.
• Series, parallel and cascading interconnections are common.
• Cascading networks are the most common in RF/MW design.

Conclusion #1
• For Z, Y, h, and ABCD matrix representations, the individual matrix elements are easily determined by selectively shorting or opening the various ports of the network.
• PROBLEM: In RF/MW design, short-circuits and open-circuits are difficult to achieve so it is correspondingly difficult to obtain the matrix representation.
• SOLUTION: The scattering or S-parameters provide a method of solving this problem.
Scattering or S-parameter Representation
The Scattering or S-parameter representation solves the problem of not being able to achieve the perfect open- or short-circuits required to determine the matrix elements for the previously defined representations (Z, Y, h, ABCD).
It does this by considering how a wave acts when it is incident on the Device Under Test (DUT). Since we are now dealing with wave phenomena, terminating transmission lines (attached to the DUT) with their characteristic impedance can be used to determine the S-parameters.
We begin by defining the terminal parameters. Previously, this was either a voltage or a current. Now, it is a normalized power.
S-parameters – Definitions
Consider the network above. We define an as follows and we want to
determine the significance of this definition.
Note: The subscript n can take on any port number and in the two-port network above, we would have a1 and a2.

We see that a1 is the incident voltage (V+) normalized to the square root of the characteristic impedance. Since power is
V2/R, we call this an incident normalized power wave.

The requirement that no incident power appears at either port 1 or port 2 is achieved by terminating the transmission line in its characteristic impedance.
S11 and S21
No incident power is seen at port 2 because the transmission line load, ZL, is equal to Z0.
S11 is the reflection coefficient and S21 is the forward voltage gain.

• Cascaded networks are common in RF systems.

Summary• Traditional network representations (Z, Y, h,
ABCD) do not work at RF/MW frequencies because we cannot experimentally determine the matrix elements. This is because we cannot create perfect opens or shorts which is required to determine the different elements.
• S-parameters solve this problem by using transmission line segments terminated with a matched load to prevent reflections.
• For cascaded networks, T-parameters should be used. T-parameters are easily derived from S-parameters and vice-versa.
