TWO PORT NETWORK PARAMETERS
Introduction
• A two port network or two terminal pair network or four terminal network is a
network having only two pairs of accessible networks ;usually one pair
represents the input and other represents the output.
• We may apply input signal at one port and obtain an output signal at the other
port.
• The parameters of two port network completely describes its behavior interms
of voltage and current at each port.
• They are very common in electronic systems, communications systems,
transmission systems and distribution systems.
• Two ports containing no source in their branches is called
passive port.
• Two ports containing sources in their branches is called
active port.
• Power transmission lines and transformers – Passive port
Electronic amplifier- Active port
Impedance Parameters (z parameters)
Condition for reciprocity and symmetricity
• A network is said to be reciprocal if the ratio of response to excitation is
invariant to interchange of the positions of the excitation and response of
the network.
• Condition for reciprocity
•
Condition for symmetry
A network is said to be symmetrical if its input
and output ports can be interchanged without
changing port voltages and currents.
