First, we write our initial scattering parameter in a snp-file (see Section 5.7). snp-files (n number of ports) contain frequency dependent scattering parameters from simulation or measurement in ASCII format. Here, we use the file to define scattering parameters. Figure E.: sp-file for s-parameter definition Figure E. shows the sp-file. Lines with an exclamation mark (!) are comment line. The line with the sharp symbol (#) defines the format of the subsequent data lines: frequency in GHz (GHz), s-parameters (S) are given with magnitude and phase (MA). The port reference impedance (R) is 50 Ω (50). In our problem the s-parameters do not vary with frequency. In order to calculate and plot the parameters with ADS an arbitrary frequency range from GHz to GHz is chosen. The s-parameter data is give in decimal nomination. We use the previously defined sp-file in a circuit simulation. Figure E. shows the schematic. The two-port network is connected to 50 Ω as well as 00 Ω terminals. Figure E.3 shows the simulation results. The upper two plots show the s-parameters normalized to 50 Ω. The absolute values (magnitude) correspond to the given values of 5/ 0.385

Special case Z 0 Let us consider the case Z 0 (short circuit). Now, the input reflection coefficient in Equation E.40 becomes s Z Z 3 Z Z 0 Z 3Z 0 Z Z 3 + Z Z 0 + Z 3Z 0 (E.46) This represents the short circuit (r ) at port. The output reflection coefficient in Equation E.4 is now s Z Z 3 Z Z 3 Z Z 3 (Z + Z 3 ) Z Z 3 + Z + Z 3 Z Z 3 + (Z + Z 3 ) Z Z 3 Z + Z 3 Z Z 3 Z Z 3 Z + Z Z 3 + 0 Z + Z 3 (E.47) (E.48) This result is correct since the output impedance is Z Z 3. Finally, Equation E.45 gives us zero transmission which is correct.

The ideal voltage source represents a short circuit. Therefore, the input impedance is and the reflection coefficient is r + (E.53) Wave source The circuit in Figure E. includes an ideal voltage source and is therefore an active circuit. Consequently, there is an outgoing wave b even though there is no incoming wave a. This is expressed by the term b 0 in the following equation. b b 0 + r a (E.54)
