About S-parameters

S-parameters (scattering parameters) are used to describe the way a device
modifies a signal. The FieldFox can measure four S-parameters. The syntax for
each parameter is described by the following:
S22 | S11 (out | in)
out = FieldFox receiver port
in = FieldFox source port
The FieldFox automatically switches the internal source and receivers to make
both forward and reverse measurements. Therefore, the FieldFox can measure
all four S-parameters with a single connection.
When the source comes from port 1, the measurement is said to be in the
forward direction.
When the source comes from port 2, the measurement is said to be in the
reverse direction.
S11 and S22 reflection measurements are used to measure the amount of
reflections off the corresponding DUT port. Low reflections means there is a
good impedance match between the source and DUT.
