I have a basic question - what causes the phase jump of S11 from -180 to -180 at the resonant frequency in a resonate structure.
(The resonant structure is equivalent to LC in series. )
In experiment, the jump is less than 180.
in fact, there is no phase jump.
if you add 360deg to the part before the resonant frequency, which can not change phase, you will find the phase is continuous.
the phase is turning anticlockwise in polar coordinates.
