Impedance Parameters
An impedance is the complex ratio between a voltage and a current. The analyzer pro-
vides two independent sets of impedance parameters:
●
Converted impedances (each impedance parameter is obtained from a single S-
parameter)
●
Z-parameters (complete description of an n-port DUT)
5.3.3.1
Converted Impedances
The converted impedance parameters Z
ij
(1 ≤i,j ≤n) describe the input impedances of
an n-port DUT with fully matched outputs. The analyzer converts a single measured S-
parameter S
ij
to determine the corresponding converted impedance, under the
assumption that each of the other ports is terminated with its respective reference
impedance Z
0k
(matched-circuit parameters). As a result, converted impedances can-
not completely describe general n-port DUTs.
