Hi Radek:

It looks like you are right at least when s12=0.
I did not know this.

According to HP Application Note 95-1:

http://www.hpmemory.org/an/pdf/an_95-1.pdf

page 58 for 2-ports shows the voltage gain:

Av = V2/V1 = s21(1+LL)/((1-s22*LL)(1+s11'))

where

s11' = s11,  if s12=0 and
LL is the fixed reflection coefficient of an arbitrary output
load ZL.

Note:  s11' = s11 + s12*s21*LS/(1-s22*LL), where LS is
the source reflection coefficient, but I am simplifying this
with s12=0.

So I believe s11 remains a factor in the overall voltage gain,
but  it can be cancelled exactly when:

s11 = 0, Av = s21(1+LL)/(1-s22*LL)

s11 = 1, Av = 2*s21*(1+LL)/(1-s22*LL)(1+1)), which is the same.

(at least when s12=0).

Bob

Hi Bob,

A small correction. I made a typo when I composed my previous e-mail without
looking at my scrap paper derivation. The signs in the denominators should
be negative ( (1-S22) and (1-S22'), respectively), but that does not change
the conclusion.

Best regards, Radek

Hi Bob,

In your original e-mail you derived the S-parameters of a cascade of the
unity-gain amplifier (E-element, infinite input impedance, zero output
impedance) and a specific S-parameter matrix in the form

[Stx] = [0       0      ]
        [S21    S22     ]

to take the form

[S-etx] =       [1      0       ]
                [2*S21  S22     ]

where S21 and S22 refer to the original matrix.

I have not verified your derivation but it looks correct. However, the fact
that the S-parameter 21 changes, that is S21' = 2*S21, does not mean that
the voltage gain (that's what we are talking about using an ideal voltage
source Vs at the input and measuring the open-circuit voltage Vout at the
output) is different. In fact, it can be shown that

        Vout/Vs = 2*S21/(1+S22)

in the case of [Stx], and

        Vout/Vs = S21'/(1+S22')

in the case of [S-etx]. Therefore, since S21' = 2*S21 and S22' = S22, the
voltage gain is the same in both cases.

Best regards, Radek

All:

Per the discussion today on the block interface definition, here is a
derivation based on BIRD122 for just s2p 2-ports (but should apply to s4p
files with more math).  It  shows the gain sensitivity to the explicit S11
term for TX and S22 term for RX from a reference impedance definition (e.g.,
TX: S11=0 or 50 ohm to infinite impedance S11 = 1 and RX: S22=0 to zero
impedance S11=-1).

In both cases, the transfer function S21 term is changed by a factor of 2
(assuming no S12 term).  This is equivalent to specifying the isolation
interfaces with a unity gain ideal voltage amplifier.

Sorry, but some of the prior material may have involved some lost or private
e-mails and also a presentation or e-mail  shown to the ATM committee
according to questions and exchanges in the Dec. 14, 2010 minutes including:

Walter showed an email from Fangyi:
- Fangyi: The equation is at the bottom
- Bob: We have defined S12 as zero
  - The real voltage gain is a function of S11
- Todd: Is this because S11 can affect V1 and therefore V2?
- Fangyi: No
  - If V1 was fixed V2 would still be affected by S11
- Bob: The defaults should be zero for series impedances and
  infinity for impedances to ground.

The main point is that the complete interface needs to be known and defined
in the Specification (for S-parameters and perhaps different for a SPICE
model) to get the proper gain (S21 term).
