SPSI-02-30 How large an impedance discontinuity is significant

  • Small reflected signals, large negative dB S11 have no impact on S21
  •  How much impedance change is necessary to see a -13 dB S11
  •  Worst case is when there is a reflection from both ends which add together
  •  A surprisingly large impedance discontinuity can be little impact on S21
