gammain

Calculate input reflection coefficient of two-port network

Description

example

coefficient = gammain(s_params,z0,zl) calculates the input reflection coefficient of a two-port network. z0 is the reference impedance Z0; its default value is 50 ohms. zl is the load impedance Zl; its default value is also 50 ohms. coefficient is an M-element complex vector.

example

coefficient = gammain(hs,zl) calculates the input reflection coefficient of the two-port network represented by the S-parameter object hs.

Examples

Calculate the input reflection coefficients at each index of an S-parameter array.

  ckt = read(rfckt.amplifier,'default.s2p');
  s_params = ckt.NetworkData.Data;
  z0 = ckt.NetworkData.Z0;
  zl = 100;
  coefficient = gammain(s_params,z0,zl)
coefficient = 191×1 complex
