Reflection impedance
The converted impedance Z
ii
(1 ≤ i ≤n) describes the input impedance at port i of the
DUT.

Example:
For a 2-port DUT that is terminated at its output with the reference impedance Z
02
, Z
11
is the input impedance (matched-circuit impedance measured in a forward reflection
measurement).
A converted impedance Z
11
completely describes a one-port DUT.
The calculation formula of the converted reflection impedances Z
ii
depends on the
waveguide circuit theory according to which Reference impedances are calculated.

between the two ports.
