Incident and Reflected Power
Power does not flow! Energy flows.
The forward and reflected traveling waves are power
orthogonal
Cross terms cancel
The net rate of energy transfer is equal to the
difference in power of the individual waves
To maximize the power transferred to the load we
want:

Network Analyzer Calibration
There are 10 unknowns in the connectors
We need 10 independent measurements to
eliminate these unknowns
Develop calibration standards
Place the standards in place of the Device Under Test
(DUT) and measure the S- parameters of the standards
and the connectors
Because the S parameters of the calibration standards
are known (theoretically), the S parameters of the
connectors can be determined and can be mathematically
eliminated once the DUT is placed back in the measuring
fixtures.

For a non-dispersive cable, the phase delay is the
same for all frequencies.
In general, the phase delay will be a function of
frequency.
It is possible for the phase velocity to take on any
value - even greater than the velocity of light
