1. Shown is a network-signal flow diagram with the three error terms included. Note that b2/a2 is our measured reflection coefficient and b1/a1 is the actual reflection coefficient of L.

“The Cadence AMS flow that has been optimized for use on UMC’s 22ULP/ULL process technologies, provides customers with comprehensive solutions across design, verification and implementation.

Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by ...
