Chapter One
Introduction to Network
Analysis of Microwave
Circuits
ABSTRACT
Network presentation has been used as a technique in the analysis of low-frequency
electrical and electronic circuits. The same technique is equally
useful in the analysis of microwave circuits, although different network
parameters are used. In this chapter, network parameters for microwave
circuit analysis, in particular scattering parameters, are introduced together
with a Smith chart for one-port networks and a new chart for two-port
networks. The analyses of two-port connected networks and a circuit
composed of multi-port networks are also presented.
