When circuit designer confronted with a complex and challenging problem, a sensible approach to the problem is to break the circuit up into a set of manageable subproblems, solve each separately and then link the subproblem solutions together.

There are many practical circuits are two-port circuit :


Coaxial cable between cities. Transformers. Transistors, Operational Amplifiers. Power transmission and distribution systems. Modeling electronic devices. Automatic control systems. Parameters completely describe circuit behavior in terms of V-I at each port. Knowing the two-port parameters enables us to treat the 2-port as a black box when embedded within a large network !

Real life examples :


Radio Receiver
The modular receiver designed by interconnected two-ports. Each module task defines a simple transformation, some desired relationship between the molules input signal and its output.

One-port / Two-port Network


A one-port circuit contains exactly two terminals
at which connections to external elements.

In many applications, what is most importantly is to obtain :

A two-port circuit is an electrical network with two


separate ports for input and output.

The voltage and current relationships at the external terminals. Parameters for which completely describe circuit behavior in terms of V I at each port. Modeling electronic devices. Remember your circuit transfer function H ( s ) !!! Knowing the two-port parameters, enables us to treat the two-port as a Black box when embedded within a larger network.

Two-Port Network Parameters


The two-port network may be driven by voltage sources or current sources.

Two-port networks will be studied in the s-Domain. So, we drop the s-argument for convenience, writing

V1 ( s )
The basic objective :

V1

To relate I1 and V1 to I 2 and V2 . Two of these four variables are independent. i.e two simultaneous equations are sufficient. We can categorize the combination into six categories.

Symmetrical Network
When the two-port network input and output impedances are equal i.e.

The two-port network is said to be Reciprocal.

z11

z22

The two-port network is said to be Symmetrical. Interchanging a voltage source at one port with an ideal ammeter at the other port produces the same reading in a reciprocal two-port network.
24

This implies that the network has mirrorlike symmetry about some center line; that is a line can be found that divides the network into two similar halves.
