Convert S11 from logmag, angle to complex

Z = Z0 * ((1+gamma)/(1-gamma))
in Excel
gamma = 
imcomplex(10^(S11mag/20)*cos(s11phase*pi()/180),10^(S11mag/20)*sin(s11phase*pi()/180))

Z= immult(50,imdivide(imsum(1,gamma),imsub(1,gamma))

that gives you R+jX series form R and C/L

You then have to convert to the parallel form

Rp = Xs*(Rs/Xs+Xs/Rs)
Xp = Rs*(Rs/Xs+Xs/Rs)

The Rs/Xs+Xs/Rs is common to both, so in excel, adding a column for that 
makes it easier.
