Abstract: This chapter presents the formulation and characteristics of the scattering (S)-parameters as well as important parameters related to them. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the S-parameters, it briefly discusses the impedance and admittance parameters well-known to electrical engineers. Radio frequency (RF) circuits, components, and systems, both passive and active, can have a single port or multiple ports. So in general, the chapter considers RF circuits, components, and systems are multiport networks. It reviews briefly the impedance and admittance matrices. The chapter also discusses two important cases that employ T- and p-network to represent any two-port RF circuits utilizing the impedance and admittance matrices. It describes a two-port RF circuit with designated port currents and voltages. Scattering transmission matrix combines the S-matrix and ABCD matrix for two-port networks. To formulate the scattering transmission matrix, the chapter also considers a two-port network.
