Define a matrix of S-parameters.

s_11 = 0.61*exp(j*165/180*pi);
s_21 = 3.72*exp(j*59/180*pi);
s_12 = 0.05*exp(j*42/180*pi);
s_22 = 0.45*exp(j*(-48/180)*pi);
s_params = [s_11 s_12; s_21 s_22];
z0 = 50;

Convert S-parameters to Z-parameters.

Input Arguments

collapse all

N-port- S-Parameters, specified as an N-by-N M array of complex numbers, where M represents the number of frequency points of N-port S-parameters.

Reference impedance in ohms, specified as one of the following:

  • Positive real scalar when you want to specify the same the reference impedance for all ports in the network.

  • Positive real vector of length N when you want to specify a different reference impedance for each port in the N-port network. (since R2023a)

  • Positive real vector of length K when you want to specify a different reference impedance for each in the K frequencies in the data. (since R2023a)

If the reference impedance is a vector and the number of ports N equals the number of data frequencies K, N == K, then the sparameters object will assign each element of the vector to each port of the network. To specify reference impedances for each frequency in this case, specify Z0 as a 3-D vector of length 1-by-1-by-K.

Output Arguments

N-port Z-parameters, returned as an N-by-N-by-M array of complex numbers, where M represents the number of frequency points of N-port Z-parameters.
