Thank you Dylan

When S21=S12 there is a 180deg ambiguity in the answer because of the
square root function. Similarly, there is a square root to solve for
S22 of the input adapter that gives another 180deg ambiguity.

The first 180deg ambiguity is ok because usually we need S12*S21
products and as long as the same 180deg error is made in calculating
both S-parameters of the input and the output adapters, the DUT
deembedding will be correct. However I'm not sure the 180deg ambiguity
in S22 of the input adapter is as easy to deal with.

BTW, I'd like to write a matlab routine to determine the full
S-parameters of the input and the output adapters.

Regards
Igor
