General Definition
In general, imbalance and CMRR are quantities with two numeric indices, indicating
the logical output port and the logical input port of the DUT during the measurement
(Imb
<out><in>
, CMRR
<out><in>
).
●
DUT with single-ended logical port i and balanced logical port j:

Differential Imbalance
A (differential) imbalance can also be calculated if the second balanced DUT port is
connected to two single-ended logical ports:

Stability factors
The stability factors K, μ1 and μ2 are real functions of the (complex) S-parameters,
defined as follows:
