Hi Ray and Dan Oh, In the "Computer-Aided Design of Microwave Circuits" book of K. C. Gupta, also the T-parameters are recommended. As Dan Oh stated, the T-parameters give a relation between waves just as the S-parameters. An important advantage is, that you dont have to deal with the reference impedances during the conversion procedure, which would be the case for a conversion to and from ABCD parameters.
