However I can not visualize a simple mechanism to generate such system in a TL. I have given the equations for what happens at an impedance discontinuity in a transmission line. The s-parameter equations are the same equations in a different format. Simply visualize the voltage phasors resulting from reflections-from and transmissions-through the impedance discontinuity. Let's start with voltages instead of power. source------Z01=50 ohms------+------Z02=300 ohms--------load measured Vfor1 = 50v, Vref1 = 0v calculated rho1 = (300-50)/(300+50) = 0.7143 Vfor1*rho1 = 35.7v at zero degrees = portion of Vfor1 reflected by the impedance discontinuity at '+'. Vref2*tau2 = 35.7v at 180 degrees = portion of Vref2 transmitted back through the impedance discontinuity at '+'. Vref1 = Vfor*rho1 + Vref2*tau2 = 0, measured Vref1. This is the same as the s-parameter equation (1). b1 = s11*a1 + s12*a2, all phasor math These are the two voltage components that superpose to zero volts. Both of those wavefronts are phasors with phase angles referenced to the Vfor1 phase angle. Now let's look at the power in the component phasor wavefronts. (Vfor1)^2/Z01 = 50^2/50 = 50w, power in the Vfor1 forward wave (Vref1)^2/Z01 = 0^2/50 = 0w, power in the Vref1 reflected wave (Vfor1*rho1)^2/Z01 = 35.7^2/50 = 25.49w (Vref2*tau2)^2/Z01 = 35.7^2/50 = 25.49w Pref1 = 25.49w + 25.49w + 2*SQRT(25.49*25.49)cos(180) The corresponding s-parameter power equation is: b1^2 = (s11*a1 + s12*a2)^2 b1^2 = (s11*a1)^2 + (s12*a2)^2 + 2(s11*a1)(s12*a2) The two wavefronts that cancel toward the source contain energy before they superpose to zero. Where does that energy go? Superposing to zero indicates total destructive interference toward the source. The conservation of energy principle says that energy cannot be destroyed so it must appear as an equal magnitude of constructive interference in the only other direction possible, i.e. toward the load. The above equations deal only with the destructive interference toward the source. There is a second complimentary set of voltage/energy equations that deal with constructive interference toward the load. I am studying your paper published in World Radio Oct 2005. Have you a demonstration of the equation cited fro "Optics" book = Pfor=Pi +P2+2[sqrt(P1P2)]cos(theta)? See above. -- 73, Cecil, w5dxp.com |
