Thank you again GIN&PEZ;
This is both an interesting and exciting journey of discovery and understanding for me. Your diligence and persistence, along with the availability and convenience of modern mathematical tools like Maxima, are managing to win at least one follower of your work. :-)
It is most interesting that this new two port model appears to implicate a savings in hardware as well as computational efficiency.
I am looking forward to ¡°testing¡± the algorithm with my limited resources for this, and attempting to formulate ideas for non-symetric 2-port devices to flip and compare for example S11 with S22 when the DUT is reversed.
FACUPOV, I suspect that the indirect S22 measurement is going to yield a most controversial result when pitted against its direct measurement. Also FACUPOV, equivalence to the latter is easily achieved by simply flipping the DUT, repeating the test, and acknowledging the additional set of uncertainty introduced by that action.
I anticipate that the uncertainty in S21 and S12 will be reduced, but a similar controversy may arise over differences in S12 results.
I will maintain sensitivity to clues of the aforementioned controversies as I evaluate and compare 2-port measurements.
