The effect of measurement errors in the S-matrix of a reciprocal 2-port device is recognized in the (usually low) difference between S12 and S21, as the device is nonreciprocal.

Abstract
The effect of measurement errors in the S-matrix of a reciprocal 2-port device is recognized in the (usually low) difference between S12 and S21, as the device is nonreciprocal. This “false non- reciprocity” is analyzed in this paper, and it is verified that, for low loss device, the difference acts principally on the phases of S12 and S21. This anomaly can be removed if a numerical correction is applied to the experimental S-matrix. In doing so, it is proved that the residual measurement errors have comparable amplitudes on all scattering parameters.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
