Title: measure Zin of an cascode LNA from S parameters
Post by baab on Mar 9^th, 2014, 7:33pm

I want to measure Zin of an cascode LNA using Cadence.
I am wondering if this is correct.
1. Measure S - parameters
2. Convert S to Z parameters
3. Zin = Z11 from the result above

I know that Zin is not Z11 in ZP analysis, though.
