Quiz - Basics of S-parameters

True or False: The scattering parameter $S_{63}$ is the ratio of the inbound voltage amplitude at port 6 to the outbound voltage amplitude at port 3, when all non-driven ports are match-terminated.

True or False: The definition of S-parameters requires that all output ports be match-terminated.

A voltage signal with an amplitude of 1 V is input at port 1 of a 2-port network, while port 2 is match terminated.  Assuming that both ports have the same characteristic impedance, and that the S-parameters of the network are given as:

$S_{11} = 0.3$

$S_{21} = 0.4$

$S_{12} = 0.1$

$S_{22} = 0.7$

what will be the amplitude of the signal leaving the network at port 2?

A voltage signal with an amplitude of 1 V is input at port 2 of a 2-port network, while port 1 is match terminated.  Assuming that both ports have the same characteristic impedance, and that the S-parameters of the network are given as:

$S_{11} = 0.3$

$S_{21} = 0.4$

$S_{12} = 0.1$

$S_{22} = 0.7$

what will be the amplitude of the signal leaving the network at port 2?

A measured $S_{21}$ value of 1 dB indicates that the network:

Characterization of a 5-port network using S-parameters will require...

True or False: An $S_{21}$ value of 0.5 indicates that half the power input at port 1 was transmitted to port 2.

To maximize the power entering a system from port 1, the most desirable value for $S_{11}$ would be:

For a passive network, the highest possible $S_{21}$ value is:

The scattering matrix of a five-port network will have how many elements?
