Scattering Parameters and S-domain

AI Thread Summary
S parameters, or scattering parameters, are not related to the S-domain or Laplace transforms, despite the shared use of the letter "S." The term "S" in S parameters specifically stands for "scattering," reflecting their application in the frequency domain. While S parameters are utilized in analyzing and characterizing high-frequency networks, they do not require the use of Laplace transforms for their application. The distinction between S parameters and S-domain concepts is important for understanding their respective uses in electrical engineering. Overall, S parameters serve a unique purpose in network analysis without direct ties to Laplace transforms.

Just curious, are S parameters related to S-domain and Laplace transforms, or is the use of S just a coincidence? I know that when using S parameters you are working in the frequency domain, but it doesn't seem that you need to use the Laplace transform to use the S parameter concept.

No, the do not have nothing to do with Laplace transforms. ##s## comes from "scattering" parameters/matrix.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

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...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

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...
