Network.nonreciprocity(m, n, normalize=False)[source]

Normalized non-reciprocity metric.

This is a port-by-port measure of how non-reciprocal an n-port network is. It is defined by,

\[(S_{mn} - S_{nm}) / \sqrt ( S_{mn} S_{nm} )\]
Parameters:

  • n (int) – n index

  • normalize (bool) – Normalize the result. Default is False.
