In words, this result states that the dot product of any column
of S with the conjugate of that same column equals 1 (for a
lossless network).

In words, this result states that the dot product of any column
of S with the conjugate of another column equals 0 (for a
lossless network).
Applying (1) to (7): If the network is also reciprocal, then S
is symmetric and we can make a similar statement concerning
the rows of S .
That is, the dot product of any row of S with the conjugate
of another row equals 0 (for a lossless, reciprocal network).

Is the network reciprocal? Yes, because S S .

This network is obviously reciprocal, and it can be shown that
its also lossy. (Go ahead, give it a try.)

which says that half of the power incident from port 1 is
transmitted to port 2 when port 2 is matched. We can now see
why this T-network is called a 3-dB attenuator.

The factor of two in this last exponent arises since the wave
travels twice the electrical distance n : once towards the port
and once back to the new terminal plane tn .
Equations (15) and (16) provide the simple transformations for S
parameters when the phase planes are shifted away from the
ports.
Many times youll find that your measured S parameters differ
from simulation by a phase angle, even though the magnitude is
in good agreement. This likely occurred because your terminal
planes were defined differently in your simulations than was set
during measurement.
