Good sources of information regarding S-parameters

AI Thread Summary
Good sources for understanding S-parameters include the Hewlett-Packard application note, which is praised for its clarity and simplicity. Many learners struggle with existing materials that lack straightforward explanations and practical examples. The discussion emphasizes the need for accessible resources to aid in self-study. Participants are encouraged to share additional recommendations that simplify the concept. Overall, finding well-explained materials is crucial for mastering S-parameters.

Hello all, I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of any good material that explains s-parameters. So far, I have encountered explanations that just confuse with no effort put into simplifying the concept. Even my lecturer assumes that the entire class are geniuses. I don't mind doing the hard work in teaching my self the concepts, i just require material that has a good explanation with lots of examples. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
