cascade_a

pmrf.rf.cascade_a(Amats: Sequence[Array], method: str | None = None) → Array

Cascaded multiple ABCD-parameter networks together in a loop.

This simply multiplies the matrices together.

Parameters:

  • Smats (Sequence[jnp.ndarray]) – A sequence of S-parameter matrices for the component networks. Each element has shape (Nf, n_ports, n_ports).

  • z0s (Sequence[jnp.ndarray]) – A sequence of characteristic impedances (z0) for the component networks.

  • s_def (str, optional, default='power') – The S-parameter definition to use (‘power’, ‘traveling’, or ‘pseudo’).

  • method (str, optional) – The method to use, currently not used.

Returns:

The resulting S-parameter matrix of the cascaded system.

Return type:

jnp.ndarray
