Default Lurker with S-parameter question

So, to avoid having to return to previous messages:
Can the S11 of a line connected to an antenna be calculated as:
S11(system)=S11(antenna) * S21(line) * S12(line) ?

Thanks
Wayne

The usual method would be to convert the S matrices to ABCD
matrices then perform matrix multiplication on the cascaded
ABCD parameters. You then convert the resultant ABCD matrix to
an S matrix.
