Abstract
The law of propagation of uncertainty is first reviewed using matrix notation. This notation is appropriate because the uncertainty in a complex-valued quantity can be expressed as a matrix. This approach is then applied to propagate uncertainty from complex-valued S-parameters to other quantities that occur elsewhere in other microwave measurement applications. The procedure is consistent with the ISO Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement [1].
