MICROWAVE NETWORK THEORY AND PASSIVE DEVICES
1. List the reasons why Z,Y,h and ABCD parameters cannot be used to measure voltage and current at
microwave frequencies?
At microwave frequencies the physical length of the component or line is comparable to or larger than the
wavelength. Hence Z,Y,h and ABCD parameters cannot be used to measure voltage and current at microwave
frequencies due to following reasons:
1. Non availability of terminal voltage and current measuring devices or equipments.
2. Short circuit and especially open circuit are not easily achieved for a wide range of frequencies .
3. Presence of active devices in microwave circuit makes the circuit unstable for short and open circuit.

2. Define and derive properties of S-parameters?


3. Discuss various losses in microwave devices or circuits in terms of S-parameters?
4. Prove that impedance and admittance matrices are symmetrical for a reciprocal network?
5. Derive S matrix representation of multiport or N- port network
6. A shunt impedance Z is connected across a transmission line with characteristic impedance Z O. Find the
S-matrix of the junction?
7. Two transmission lines of characteristic impedanceZ1 and Z2 are joined at planepp1. Express S-
parameters in terms of impedance when each line is matched terminated

power delivered through each port when other ports are terminated in matched load?

coefficients 𝜞1-0.5, 𝜞2=0.6 and 𝜞4=0.8 respectively. If 1W power is fed at the sum port3, calculate the
