The principles of electromagnetic waves are based on relationships between electricity
and magnetism. A changing magnetic field will induce an electric field and a changing magnetic
field will induce a magnetic field. In addition, the induced fields are not confined; but ordinarily
extend outward into space.

A certain two-port network has the scattering matrix below:
The input and output impedances of the two-port network are 50 Ohms. Port 1 is connected to
the output of a transmission line of characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. Port 2 is connected to
a load impedance of 𝑍𝐿 = 150 Ohms. Answer the following:
Solution
(a) The scattering matrix relates the voltages reflected from the ports to the voltages incident on
the ports:
We also know that Port 2 is connected to a 150 Ohm load. This can be used to find the
relationship between the incident and reflected voltages at Port 2:
[Careful: the “incident” and “reflected” voltages above, 𝑉2+ and 𝑉2− are defined with respect to
the 2-port network, so 𝑉2− is the voltage reflected from Port 2 or incident on the load, and 𝑉2+ is
the voltage on Port 2, so is the voltage reflected from the load. So the equation above for the
𝑉+
reflection coefficient from the load (Γ𝐿 = 𝑉2−) is really correct]

𝑃𝐿 |𝑉2− |2 −|𝑉2+ |

The difference then represents the power coupled to the load.]

the ports:

DIRECTIONAL COUPLERS
Most directional couplers are characterized by its “coupling” as defined below:
T-Junction Power Dividers.
EXAMPLE: OF T-Junction Power Dividers
Network Analyzer:
The network analyzer is perhaps the most useful instrument for microwave
measurements.
The measurements may be scalar in nature, i.e., only the magnitude of the s-parameters
is measured.
Otherwise, a vector network analyzer is used to measure both the magnitude and
phase of the s-parameters. The s-parameters are derived by the measurement of
incident, reflected and transmitted signals.
A powerful internal computer is used to calculate and display the magnitude and
phase of the s-parameters, typically on a Smith chart. Other quantities that can be
derived from the s-parameters, such as VSWR, return loss, impedance, etc. can also be
displayed.
