Calculate Z from series s21 - enhanced

This calculator calculates Z from series s21 and related calibration measurements.

Inputs:  
 
    Real /magnitude Imaginary / angle
Zc
Zl
s21c   
s21u
       
Results:  
Zc (Ω)  
Zs (Ω)  
Zl (Ω)
Zu (Ω)  
Yu (Ω)  

The calculator does not do a lot of error checking, if you enter nonsense, it will probably produce nonsense.

Inputs are assumed wrt 50+j0 (Ω).

A series impedance Zc is used to find the equivalent source impedance of Port 1 for improved accuracy. Zc is measured using a s11 reflection measurement.

Port 2 input impedance is measured by s11 reflection as Zl.

s21c is an s21 measurement with Zc in series from Port 1 to Port 2.

s21u  is an s21 measurement with Zu (the unknown) in series from Port 1 to Port 2.
