The difference between the transducer gain and this S_21 is exactly this power loss. S_11 and S_22 are mostly not 50 ohm, and hence you have power loss. But that one is defined based on 50 ohm terminations. If we look back to this formula for unilateral transducer gain, we see that we have a part which is called the gain, the absolute value of S_21 to the power two. That will maximize M of S_2 M_S max as shown on the bottom. For instance, if we look at the input port, the source needs to be conjugately matched, meaning that the reflection coefficient on the source should be identical to S_11 conjugate. Maximum gain improvement is then observed with one of these ports, is conjugately matched. We can write it as a term which you call the gain function from Source M_S, a gain function from the load M_L, and the gain itself, S_21. Which yields then the transducer gain function as provided here. Remember that for the unilateral case the reverse transmission coefficient, S_12 is equal to 0. Now let's move to unilateral transducer gain. Please remember that for the available power gain, the output is conjugately matched, not the input. Note that the maximum power gain is equal to 16.2dB. We have here an amplifier with the following scattering parameters, we can now plot for available gain of 13, 14, and 15dB, the circles for the source reflection and the upward reflexive coefficent, as you can see in the right-hand side in the Smith chart. The locus of such points in the homer plane, former circle is inserted center and a certain radius, and both are dependent on the realized gain. For a given available gain, we can realize this gain with many combinations of reflection coefficient from the source and from the output. Is therefore, a function of the scatter parameters, the reflection coefficient for the source and the reflection coefficient at the output. Remember that the available power gain is the ratio between the power available at the output divided by the power available from the source. Take as an example the expression for the available power gain. Let's first focus on circles in the homer plane. The objective of this lecture is to discuss available gain circles, to discuss the unilateral constant-gain circle, and to provide you with an example to explain it in more detail. Welcome to this web lecture about constant-gain circles. The lecturers all have an academic and industrial background and are embedded in the Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven (CWT/e) of Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands.

After finalizing the course a certificate can be obtained (5 ECTS), which can be used when you start a full MSc program at Eindhoven University of Technology. The course is supported by a book written by the team of lecturers, which will be made available to the students. Throughout the course you will work on the design challenge in which you will design a complete active phased array system, including antennas, beamformers and amplifiers.
#IF STABILITY CIRCLE OUTSIDE SMITH CHART HOW TO#
Next to this, we will provide you hands-on experience in a design-challenge in which you will learn how to design microwave circuits and antennas. The web lectures are supported by many on-line quizzes in which you can practice the background theory. We will provide you with the required theoretical foundation as well as hands-on experience using state-of-the-art design tools. Future applications, like millimeter-wave 5G/beyond-5G wireless communications or automotive radar, require experts that can co-design highly integrated antenna systems that include both antennas and microwave electronics. The course combines both passive and active microwave circuits as well as antenna systems. This unique Master-level course provides you with in-depth know-how of microwave engineering and antennas.
