From T-parameters to A-parameters

In matrix form, the formula is

A=[12k112k112Z1k112Z1k1]T[12k212k212Z2k212Z2k2]1\mathbf{A} =\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2\,k_{1}} & \frac{1}{2\,k_{1}}\\ \frac{1}{2\,Z_{1}\,k_{1}} & -\frac{1}{2\,Z_{1}\,k_{1}} \end{bmatrix}\,\mathbf{T}\,{\begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2\,k_{2}} & \frac{1}{2\,k_{2}}\\ \frac{1}{2\,Z_{2}\,k_{2}} & -\frac{1}{2\,Z_{2}\,k_{2}} \end{bmatrix}}^{-1}

While for each element, we obtain

A11=k2(T11+T12+T21+T22)2k1A12=Z2k2(T11T12+T21T22)2k1A21=k2(T11+T12T21T22)2Z1k1A22=Z2k2(T11T12T21+T22)2Z1k1\begin{align*}A_{11} &=\frac{k_{2}\,\left(T_{11}+T_{12}+T_{21}+T_{22}\right)}{2\,k_{1}}\\A_{12} &=\frac{Z_{2}\,k_{2}\,\left(T_{11}-T_{12}+T_{21}-T_{22}\right)}{2\,k_{1}}\\A_{21} &=\frac{k_{2}\,\left(T_{11}+T_{12}-T_{21}-T_{22}\right)}{2\,Z_{1}\,k_{1}}\\A_{22} &=\frac{Z_{2}\,k_{2}\,\left(T_{11}-T_{12}-T_{21}+T_{22}\right)}{2\,Z_{1}\,k_{1}}\\\end{align*}

The formulas are obtained with the methods explained here. The MATLAB implementation can be found in circuitconversions on Gitlab.

Definitions

[A1B1]=T[B2A2]\begin{bmatrix}A_1 \\B_1\end{bmatrix} = \mathbf{T}\begin{bmatrix}B_2 \\A_2\end{bmatrix}

[V1I1]=A[V2I2]\begin{bmatrix}V_1 \\I_1\end{bmatrix} = \mathbf{A}\begin{bmatrix}V_2 \\-I_2\end{bmatrix}

The incident and reflected waves are defined as

A1=k1(V1+I1Z1)B1=k1(V1I1Z1)A2=k2(V2+I2Z2)B2=k2(V2I2Z2)\begin{align*}A_1 &= k_{1}\,\left(V_{1}+I_{1}\,Z_{1}\right)\qquad B_1 &= k_{1}\,\left(V_{1}-I_{1}\,Z_{1}\right)\\A_2 &= k_{2}\,\left(V_{2}+I_{2}\,Z_{2}\right)\qquad B_2 &= k_{2}\,\left(V_{2}-I_{2}\,Z_{2}\right)\\\end{align*}

with Z0,iZ_{0,i} the reference impedance for port ii and kik_i defined as

ki=12(Z0,i)ki=α(Z0,i)2Z0,ik_i=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\Re\left( Z_{0,i}\right) }}\qquad k_i=\alpha\frac{\sqrt{\Re\left( Z_{0,i} \right) }}{2\left|Z_{0,i}\right|}

depending on whether you are using power- or pseudowaves.
