  • Chapter 6 Two-Port Network Model
    Chapter 6 Two-Port Network Model 6.1 Introduction In this chapter a two-port network model of an actuator will be briefly described. In Chapter 5, it was shown that an automated test setup using an active system can re- create various load impedances over a limited range of frequencies. This test set-up can therefore be used to automatically reproduce any load impedance condition (related to a possible application) and apply it to a test or sample actuator. It is then possible to collect characteristic data from the test actuator such as force, velocity, current and voltage. Those characteristics can then be used to help to determine whether the tested actuator is appropriate or not for the case simulated. However versatile and easy to use this test set-up may be, because of its limitations, there is some characteristic data it will not be able to provide. For this reason and the fact that it can save a lot of measurements, having a good linear actuator model can be of great use. Developed for transduction theory [29], the linear model presented in this chapter is 77 called a Two-Port Network model. The automated test set-up remains an essential complement for this model, as it will allow the development and verification of accuracy. This chapter will focus on the two-port network model of the 1_3 tube array actuator provided by MSI (Cf: Figure 5.5). 6.2 Theory of the Two–Port Network Model As a transducer converts energy from electrical to mechanical forms, and vice- versa, it can be modelled as a Two-Port Network that relates the electrical properties at one port to the mechanical properties at the other port.

INTRODUCTION A two-port network (a kind of four-terminal network or quadripole) is an electrical network (circuit) or device with two pairs of terminals to connect to external circuits. Two For the general case of an N-port network, terminals constitute a port if the currents applied to them satisfy the essential requirement known as the port condition: the electric current entering one terminal must equal the current emerging from the The input impedance of a two-port network is given other terminal on the same port. The ports constitute by: interfaces where the network connects to other networks, the points where signals are applied or outputs are taken. In a two-port network, often port 1 where ZL is the impedance of the load connected to is considered the input port and port 2 is considered port two.

  • Scattering Parameters - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 13
    Scattering parameters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 13 Scattering parameters From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Scattering parameters or S-parameters (the elements of a scattering matrix or S-matrix ) describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks when undergoing various steady state stimuli by electrical signals. The parameters are useful for electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and communication systems design, and especially for microwave engineering. The S-parameters are members of a family of similar parameters, other examples being: Y-parameters,[1] Z-parameters,[2] H- parameters, T-parameters or ABCD-parameters.[3][4] They differ from these, in the sense that S-parameters do not use open or short circuit conditions to characterize a linear electrical network; instead, matched loads are used. These terminations are much easier to use at high signal frequencies than open-circuit and short-circuit terminations. Moreover, the quantities are measured in terms of power. Many electrical properties of networks of components (inductors, capacitors, resistors) may be expressed using S-parameters, such as gain, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), reflection coefficient and amplifier stability. The term 'scattering' is more common to optical engineering than RF engineering, referring to the effect observed when a plane electromagnetic wave is incident on an obstruction or passes across dissimilar dielectric media. In the context of S-parameters, scattering refers to the way in which the traveling currents and voltages in a transmission line are affected when they meet a discontinuity caused by the insertion of a network into the transmission line. This is equivalent to the wave meeting an impedance differing from the line's characteristic impedance.

  • Scattering Parameters
    Chapter 1 Scattering Parameters Scattering parameters are a powerful analysis tool, providing much insight on the electrical behavior of circuits and devices at, and beyond microwave frequencies. Most vector network analyzers are designed with the built-in capability to display S parameters. To an experienced engineer, S parameter plots can be used to quickly identify problems with a measurement. A good understanding of their precise meaning is therefore essential. Talk about philosophy behind these derivations in order to place reader into context. Talk about how the derivations will valid for arbitrary complex reference impedances (once everything is hammered out). Talk about the view of pseudo-waves and the mocking of waveguide theory mentionned on p. 535 of [1]. Talk about alterantive point of view where S-parameters are a conceptual tool that can be used to look at real traveling waves, but don’t have to. Call pseudo-waves: traveling waves of a conceptual measurement setup. Is the problem of connecting a transmission line of different ZC than was used for the measurement that it may alter the circuit’s response (ex: might cause different modes to propagate), and thus change the network?? Question: forward/reverse scattering parameters: Is that when the input (port 1) is excited, or simly incident vs. reflected/transmitted??? The reader is referred to [2][1][3] for a more general treatment, including non-TEM modes. Verify this statement, and try to include this if possible. Traveling Waves And Pseudo-Waves Verify the following statements with the theory in [1]. Link to: Scattering and pseudo-scattering matrices.

Resistive films (dielectric glass slab coated with aquadag) are used in the design of both fixed and variable attenuators. A co-axial fixed attenuator uses the dielectric lossy material inside the centre conductor of the co-axial line to absorb some of the centre conductor microwave power propagating through it dielectric rod decides the amount of attenuation introduced. The microwave power absorbed by the lossy material is dissipated as heat. 1 In waveguides, the dielectric slab coated with aquadag is placed at the centre of the waveguide parallel to the maximum E-field for dominant TEIO mode. Induced current on the lossy material due to incoming microwave signal, results in power dissipation, leading to attenuation of the signal. The dielectric slab is tapered at both ends upto a length of more than half wavelength to reduce reflections as shown in figure 5.7. The dielectric slab may be made movable along the breadth of the waveguide by supporting it with two dielectric rods separated by an odd multiple of quarter guide wavelength and perpendicular to electric field.

Nonreciprocity is created with a combination of frequency conversion and delay, and requires neither permanent magnets nor microwave bias tones, allowing on-chip integration with other superconducting circuits without the need for high-bandwidth control lines. Isolation in the device exceeds 20 dB over a bandwidth of tens of MHz, and its insertion loss is small, reaching as low as 0.9 dB at select operation frequencies. Furthermore, the device is linear with respect to input power for signal powers up to hundreds of fW (≈103 circulating photons), and the direction of circulation can be dynamically reconfigured.
