Video Introduction to Scattering Parameters with Animated Examples
Thank you to Apostolos for sharing with us his educational video that introduces "scattering parameters" (aka S-Parameters), and how these parameters relate to antennas and RF networks. S-Parameters are a matrix of values that can be used to describe an electrical network. Apostolos' video explains these parameters in detail, giving good visual examples. Apostolos writes:
Here are the topics I cover:
- What is a 'Network'?
- Power Waves
- Complex Impedance & Phase Angle
- S-Matrix & S-Parameters
- Reflection & Transmission Coefficients
- Standing Waves
- Example Networks
- Designating S-Parameters
- Reciprocity & Losslessness
- Reflection Coefficient and VSWR
