Application of the Equations for Elliptic Structure Digital Model to Models of Structures utilizing Open/Short-circuited Stubs

Abstract

An approach to scattering parameter calculation for a wave digital model of elliptic structure is described. The z-domain scattering parameters are given via wave transfer parameters. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the resultant equations for a wave digital model of elliptic structure can be used in the analysis of the models of structures with open/short-circuited stubs. This possibility reduces the number of wave digital network types, and contributes to the generalization of applied analysis approach and its software implementation.
