Unit - 1 Two Port Networks
For a two port network, the relationship of V & I with respect to the Z, Y, H
and ABCD parameters can be given as:
Impedance V1 = Z11I1 + Z12I2 Transmission V1 = AV2 - BI2
Z parameters A, B, C, D
V2 = Z21I1 + Z22I2 parameters I1 = CV2 - DI2
The Z-parameter matrix for the two-port network is probably the most common.
The relationship between the port currents, port voltages and the Z-
parameter matrix is given by:

The usefulness of the ABCD matrix is that cascaded two-port networks can
be characterized by simply multiplying their ABCD matrices

ABCD Parameters are used for analyzing cascaded two-port
networks.

Scattering Parameters:
Scattering Parameters (S-Parameters) plays a major role is network
analysis.
This importance is derived from the fact that practical system
characterizations can no longer be accomplished through simple open-
or short-circuit customarily in low-frequency measurements, as is
applications.
In the case of a short circuit with a wire; the wire itself possesses
an inductance that can be of substantial magnitude at high frequency.
Also open circuit leads to capacitive loading at the terminal.

Definition of Scattering Parameters

An n-port microwave network has n arms into which power can be fed
and from which power can be taken.
There are thus n incoming waves and n outgoing waves.
Power can be reflected by a port, so the input power to a single port can
partition between all the ports of the network to form outgoing waves.
Associated with each port is the notion of a "reference plane" at which
the wave amplitude and phase is defined.
The reference plane associated with a certain port is at the same place
with respect to incoming and outgoing waves

For any loss less network the sum of product of each term of any one
row or any one column of s matrix multiplied by its complex
conjugate is unity.
For a lossless N port devices the total power leaving N ports must be
equal to total input to the ports.

Reciprocal Networks:
Has identical transmission characteristics from port one to port two or from
port two to port one
circuit behavior independent of directions of waves and currents.
Some Characteristics of Impedance and Admittance Matrices
Both Z and Y matrices are symmetric
Lossless Networks
All the Z and Y elements are imaginary.
To determine Z and Y elements, both voltage and current values need to be
measured.
This is difficult at microwave frequencies.
