Could some electronics guru here please clarify this ? S{OCE AC analysis allows measurement of small signal s parameters. Using these measured values, the elements of the impedance matrix(Z matrix - Z11, Z12, Z21 and Z22) cam be calculated(messy but straightforward calculation, done easily with C code) Once the elements of the Z matrix have been calculated, the input, output impedances of the 2 port network can be calculated(as before messy but straightforward calculation, easily done with C code). For an inductor operating at RF|microwave frequencies in the non-resonace frequency range, the quality factor is (wL/R(f)) w -> angular frequency, L inductance(geometry based) and R(f) the frequency dependent resistance. So, if one were to measure the Q factor of a microstrip rectangular inductor e.g., at 759 MHz, which of Z11, Z12, Z21 , Z22 Zin, Zout would be used to get the Q factor? All hints|suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
