2 Port Networks –Impedance/Admittance,
Transmission, and Hybird Parameters
2-Port Circuits


Network parameters characterize linear circuits that have
both input and output terminals, in terms of linear equations
that describe the voltage and current relationships at those
terminals. This model provides critical information for
understanding the effects of connecting circuits, loads, and
sources together at the input and output terminals of a twoport circuit. A similar model was used when dealing with oneport circuits.
Review example: Thévenin and Norton Equivalent Circuits:
100 
10 i1
a
i1
10 V
50 
100 
b
Show that Voc=8 V, Isc = 0.08 A, and Rth = 100
2-Port Circuits:
Now take away the source from the previous example:

Why wouldn't it make sense to talk about a Thévenin or
Norton equivalent circuit in this case?
The Thévenin and Norton models must be extended to
describe circuit behavior at two ports.
Label the terminal voltage and currents as v1, i1, v2, and i2
and develop a mathematical relationship to show their
dependencies.
Inverse Transmission -Parameter Model:
If the circuit is linear, then a general linear relationship between
the terminal voltages and currents can be expressed as:
v2  av1  bi1  V2
i2  cv1  di1  I 2


Geometrically each equation forms a planar surface over the v1-i1
plane, therefore, only three points on the surface are necessary
to uniquely determine a, b, c, d, V2, and I2. So if the circuit
response is known for three different values of the v1-i1 pairs,
six equations with six unknowns can be generated and solved.
This problem can be simplified by strategically setting v1 and i1 to
zero in order to isolate unknown parameters and simplify the
resulting equations. In general, if there are no independent
sources in the circuit then V2, and I2 will be 0. This will be the
case for the problems considered in this unit.

given circuit.

This circuit is helpful when implementing in SPICE without
knowledge or details of circuit from which parameters
were derived.
SPICE Solutions for Two-Port Parameters:
As shown on previous slides, by strategically selecting the
constraints on certain port variables, the two-port parameters
are equal to ratios of other port variables. Therefore:



Port variables can be constrained by attaching a zero-valued voltage
or current source. The other port can be excited by a unity-valued
source (or some other convenient value).
Place meters at the remaining values need to evaluate the ratios.
The two-port parameter can be found computing the ratio values
from those found directly by SPICE.
Example: Determine the SPICE commands to find the abcd
parameters for the circuit below.

Relationship Between 2 Sets of Port Parameters:
Since a single set of network parameters characterize the linear
circuits completely at the input and output terminals, it is
possible to derive other network parameters from this set.

Solving for Terminal Currents and Voltages from
Port Parameters:
Once the port parameters are known, no other information from
the circuit is required to determine the behavior of the
currents and voltages at the terminals.
Example: Given the z-parameter representation of a circuit,
determine the resulting terminal voltages and currents when a
practical source with internal resistance Rs and voltage Vs is
connected to the input (terminal 1) and a load RL is connected to
the output (terminal 2):
