Symmetry Property
For a reciprocal network : V1 V2 ... VN V1 S11 S12 .........S1N V1 + S S .........S + 21 22 2N V2 V2 = & ... ........................ ... + + SN1 SN 2 .......SNN VN VN
+ +
S'11 S'12 .........S'1N V1 ' ' ' S 21 S 22 .........S 2N V2 ........................ ... ' ' ' VN S N1 S N 2 .......S NN
this is only possible if : S'11 S'12 .........S'1N S11 S12 .........S1N T ' ' ' S S .........S S S .........S T 21 22 2N 21 22 ' 2N = = or S S [ ] ........................ ........................ ' ' ' S S .......S NN S N1 S N 2 .......S NN N1 N 2 This condition itself means that [S] is a symmetric matrix.
Unity Property: For a row or column of a scattering matrix(in a lossless junction), the summation of product of elements with their respective conjugates is equal to unity
Zero Property: In a lossless junction, the summation of product of elements of one row/column with complex conjugate of corresponding elements of another row/column of a scattering matrix is zero.
Unitary Property: The product of transpose and complex conjugate of a scattering matrix is a unity matrix.
