Please take a look at the numerous measurements performed by Walter
Maxwell.
Let's take a simple example of the single-port s-parameter results.
There exists a black box with one exposed port. The impedance is
measured to be 50+j0 and s11 is assumed to be zero when driven by a 50
ohm source. There could be a 50 ohm dummy load in the box but there is
not.
Actually, inside the black box is a 1/4WL Z0=100 ohm transmission line
routed to a 200 ohm resistor. s11 is certainly not zero and is
measured, using the 2-port procedure, to be 0.3333.
Which s11 is correct, 0.0000 or 0.3333?
