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.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
