(ABCD) Matrix
Subject: Microwave Engineering
Session: July ‘12– Nov ’12
Class: 09 ES sec I & II
Instructor: Engr. Zuneera Aziz
Introduction
• Z parameters are useful for series connected
networks
• Y parameters are useful for parallel connected
networks
• S parameters are useful for describing
interactions of voltage and current waves within
a network
Transmission (ABCD) Matrix
• Particularly suited for cascading two port networks
• Consider the following two port network:
Eq. 1
• For which:
Transmission (ABCD) Matrix
• So here’s the best part!
Eq. 2
and
Eq. 3
Transmission (ABCD) Matrix
• Cascading the two networks would result in:
Eq. 4
Transmission (ABCD) Matrix
• The product of ABCD matrix of network 1 and
ABCD matrix of network 2 can be combined to
form:
Eq. 5
Eq. 6
Transmission (ABCD) Matrix
• The cascaded network is now an equivalent of:
Transmission (ABCD) Matrix
• Point to ponder!
• “It is important to note that the order of the
matrix multiplication must be the same as the
order of in which the two port networks are
arranged in the circuit. Matrix multiplication is
not commutative.”
• In general:
[A] . [B] ≠ [B] . [A]
