Chapter 8 Two Port Network & Network Functions

A pair of terminals through which a current may enter or leave a network is known as a port. A
port is an access to the network and consists of a pair of terminals; the current entering one
terminal leaves through the other terminal so that the net current entering the port equals zero.
For example, most circuits have two ports. We may apply an input signal in one port and obtain
an output signal from the other port. The parameters of a two-port network completely describes
its behaviour in terms of the voltage and current at each port. Thus, knowing the parameters of a
two port network permits us to describe its operation when it is connected into a larger network.
Two-port networks are also important in modeling electronic devices and system components.
For example, in electronics, two-port networks are employed to model transistors and Op-amps.
Other examples of electrical components modeled by two-ports are transformers and
transmission lines.

Four popular types of two-port parameters are examined here: impedance, admittance, hybrid,
and transmission. We show the usefulness of each set of parameters, demonstrate how they are
related to each other.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of this module, students will be able to:

1.Differentiate one port and two port network devices.
2.Calculate two port network parameters such as z, y, ABCD and
h parameters for given electrical network.
3.Relate different two port network parameters.
4.Simplify the complex network such as cascade, parallel networks using
fundamental two port network parameters.
5.Find the various driving point & transfer functions of two port network.

A Typical one port or two terminal network is shown in figure 1.1. For example resistor,
capacitor and inductor are one port network.

Fig.1.1

Fig. 1.2 represents a two-port network.A four terminal network is called a two-port network
when the current entering one terminal of a pair exits the other terminal in the pair. For example,
I1 enters terminal ‘a’ and exit terminal ‘b’ of the input terminal pair ‘a-b’. Example for four-
terminal or two-port circuits are op amps, transistors, and transformers.

Fig.1.2

To characterize a two-port network requires that we relate the terminal quantities

V1 ,V2 , I 1 and I 2 .The various terms that relate these voltages and currents are called parameters.
Our goal is to derive four sets of these parameters.

1.3 Open circuit Impedance Parameter (z Parameter):

Let us assume the two port network shown in figure is a linear network then using superposition
theorem, we can write the input and output voltages as the sum of two components, one due to I1
and other due to I2:

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, M.I.T. Manipal. Page 2

 ECE -2103: Network Analysis

V1  z11I 1  z12 I 2
V2  z 21I 1  z 22 I 2
Putting the above equations in matrix form, we get
V1   z11 z12   I1  I 
V    z     [ z ] 1 
 2   21 z22   I 2  I 2 

the z terms are called the z parameters, and have units of ohms. The values of the parameters can
be evaluated by setting I1  0 or I 2  0 .
The z parameters are defined as follows:
Thus
V V V V
z11  1 z 21  2 z12  1 z 22  2
I 1 I 0 I 1 I 0 I 2 I 0 I 2 I 0
2 2 1 1

In the preceding equations, letting I1  0 or I 2  0 is equivalent to open-circuiting the input or

output port. Hence, the z parameters are called open-circuit impedance parameters.
Here z11 is defined as the open-circuit input impedance, z 22 is called the open-circuit output
impedance, and z12 and z 21 are called the open-circuit transfer impedances.
If z12 = z 21 , the network is said to be reciprocal network. Also, if z11 = z 22 then the network is
called a symmetrical network.

We obtain z11 and z 21 by connecting a voltage V1 (or a current source I 1 ) to port 1 with port 2
open-circuited as in fig.

Similarly z12 and z 22 by connecting a voltage V2 (or a current source I 2 ) to port 2 with port 1
open-circuited as in fig.

A two-port is reciprocal if interchanging an ideal voltage source at one port with an ideal
ammeter at the other port gives the same ammeter reading.

Example 8.1
Determine the z parameters for the circuit in the following figure and then compute the
current in a 4Ω load if a 2400 V source is connected at the input port.

To find z11 and z 21 , the output terminals are open circuited. Also connect a voltage source V1 to
the input terminals. This gives a circuit diagram as shown in Fig

Applying KVL to the left-mesh, we get

12 I 1  6I 1  V1
 V1  18I1
V1
Hence z11   18Ω
I1 I 2 0

Applying KVL to the right-mesh, we get

 V2  3  0  6I1  0
 V2  6I1
V2
Hence z 21  =6Ω
I1 I 2 0

To find z12 and z 22 , the input terminals are open circuited. Also connect a voltage source V2 to
the output terminals. This gives a circuit diagram as shown in Fig.

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, M.I.T. Manipal. Page 4

 ECE -2103: Network Analysis

Applying KVL to the left-mesh, we get

V1  12  0  6 I 2
V1  6 I 2
V1
z12  =6 Ω
I2 I1  0

Applying KVL to the right-mesh, we get

 V2  3I 2  6I 2  0
V2  9I 2
V2
z 22  =9 Ω
I2 I1  0

The equations for the two-port network are, therefore

V1  18I1  6I 2 (1)
V2  6I1  9 I 2 (2)
The terminal voltages for the network shown in Fig.8.2 are
V1  2400 (3)
V2  4I 2 (4)

Fig.8.2

Combining equations (1) and (2) with equations (3) and (4) yields
2400  18I1  6I 2

On Solving, we get I 2  0.7300 A

1.4 Admittance Parameter( y Parameter):

The terminal currents can be expressed in terms of the terminal voltages: The y terms are known
as the admittance parameters (or, simply, y parameters) and have units of siemens.
I 1  y11V1  y12V2
I 2  y 21V1  y 22V2
Putting the above equations in matrix form, we get
 I1   y11 y12  V1  V 
I    y     [ y ] 1 
 2   21 y 22  V2  V2 

The y terms are called the y parameters, and have units of seimens. The values of the parameters
can be evaluated by setting V1  0 or V2  0 .
The y parameters are defined as follows:
Thus
I I I I
y11  1 y 21  2 y12  1 y 22  2
V1 V 0 V1 V 0 V2 V 0 V2 V 0
2 2 1 1

In the preceding equations, letting V1  0 or V2  0 is equivalent to short-circuiting the input or

output port. Hence, the y parameters are called short-circuit admittance parameters.

If y12 = y 21 , the network is said to be reciprocal network. Also, if y11 = y 22 then it is called a
symmetrical network.

Example 8.4
Determine the admittance parameters of the T network shown in Fig.8.4

input terminals. The circuit so obtained is shown in Fig.

I 2 to the output terminals. The circuit so obtained is shown in Fig.

1.12 Interconnection of Two port network:

A large, complex network may be divided into subnetworks for the purposes of analysis and
design. The subnetworks are modeled as two-port networks, interconnected to form the original
network. The two-port networks may therefore be regarded as building blocks that can be
interconnected to form a complex network. The interconnection can be in series, in parallel, or in
cascade. Although the interconnected network can be described by any of the six parameter sets,
a certain set of parameters may have a definite advantage. For example, when the networks are in
series, their individual z parameters add up to give the z parameters of the larger network. When
they are in parallel, their individual y parameters add up to give the y parameters of the larger
network. When they are cascaded, their individual transmission parameters can be multiplied
together to get the transmission parameters of the larger network.

The basic interconnections to be considered are: parallel, series and cascade.

PARALLEL: Voltages are the same.Current of interconnection is the sum of currents.

SERIES: Currents are the same. Voltage of interconnection is the sum of voltages.
CASCADE: Output of first subsystem acts as input for the second.

1.13 Networks in parallel:

Two two-port networks are in parallel when their port voltages are equal and the port currents of
the larger network are the sums of the individual port currents. In addition, each circuit must
have a common reference and when the networks are connected together, they must all have their
common references tied together.

Hence if two port sub networks are connected in parallel then the resultant network y parameters
can be calculated by adding individual y parameters of sub networks.

1.14 Neworks in series

The networks are regarded as being in series because their input currents are the same and their
voltages add. In addition, each network has a common reference, and when the circuits are
placed in series, the common reference points of each circuit are connected together.

It is this property that makes the transmission parameters so useful. Keep in mind that the
multiplication of the matrices must be in the order in which the networks Na and Nb are
cascaded.

1.16 Network Functions for One Port and Two Port Network

1.17 Driving Point Functions:

The impedance or admittance found at a given port is called a driving point impedance(or
admittance).

1.Driving Point Impedance:

Z11(s) = V1(s)/I1(s)

2. Driving Point Admittance:

Y11(s) = I1(s)/V1(s) = 1/Z11(s)

1.18 Transfer Function:

The transfer function relates the transform of a quantity at one port to the transform of another
quantity at another port.Thus transfer functions which relate voltages and currents have
following possible forms:
The ratio of one voltage to another voltage, or the voltage transfer ratio.
The ratio of one current to another current ,or the current transfer ratio.
The ratio of one current to another voltage or one voltage to another voltage.

Transfer function for the two port network:
