Extended Data Fig. 3. Experimental validation of the model assumptions.
a, C3 symmetry holds when S12 = S23 = S31 as well as S11 = S22 = S33, which is very well satisfied in the considered frequency range. b, Eigenvalues of the measured scattering matrix, with nearly-unitary behaviour over the entire experimental bandwidth. c, ξ and η parameters used to approximate the real scattering matrix with a C3-symmetric unitary matrix. The red area is the Chern phase, and the blue area the anomalous one. d, Error in % made by approximating the real scattering matrix with equation (4) over the entire bandwidth.
