edges.cal.sparams.core.sparam_calibration¶

Functions for calibrating S-parameter measurements.

Functions for de-embedding and embedding 2-port networks, as well as generating S-parameters from calkit measurements.

edges.cal.sparams.core.sparam_calibration.average_reflection_coefficients(s: Sequence[ReflectionCoefficient]) → ReflectionCoefficient[source]¶: Average multiple reflection coefficients.

edges.cal.sparams.core.sparam_calibration.average_sparams(s: Sequence[SParams]) → SParams[source]¶: Average multiple reflection coefficients.

edges.cal.sparams.core.sparam_calibration.de_embed_network_from_calkit_measurements(measurements: CalkitReadings, sparams: SParams) → CalkitReadings[source]¶

Compute the S-parameters of a 2-port network from calkit measurements.

This is a convenience wrapper around sparams_from_calkit_measurements().

Parameters:

measurements – The actual measurements of the calkit standards.
model – A model of the calkit standards. If None, ideal standards are assumed.

edges.cal.sparams.core.sparam_calibration.gamma2impedance(gamma: float | ndarray, z0: float | ndarray) → float | ndarray[source]¶

Convert reflection coeffient to impedance.

See Eq. 19 of Monsalve et al. 2016.

Parameters:

gamma – Reflection coefficient.
z0 – Reference impedance.

Returns:

z – The impedance.

edges.cal.sparams.core.sparam_calibration.gamma_de_embed(gamma: ReflectionCoefficient, sparams: SParams) → ReflectionCoefficient[source]¶

Remove the effect of a 2-port network from a reflection coefficient.

See Eq. 2 of Monsalve et al., 2016 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters#S-parameters_in_amplifier_design

Notes

Given the reflection coefficient observed at a reference plane on one side of an electrical component/subsystem, this function returns the reflection coefficient at the reference plane on the other side of the subsystem:

       PLANE               PLANE

Parameters:

gamma – The reflection coefficient measured at the reference plane “in front” of the 2-port network / subsystem. The shape should be (N,), where N is the number of frequency points.
sparams – The S-matrix of the 2-port network / subsystem. The shape should be (2, 2, N), where N is the number of frequency points.

Returns:

gamma_de_embedded – The reflection coefficient at the desired reference plane, on the other side of the 2-port network. The shape is (N,), where N is the number of frequency points.
