One-port networks
Earlier in the course we saw that a network N consisting or resistors and dependent
sources can be represented by an equivalent resistance, Req . This type of network is
a one-port network since it has one pair of terminals.

Two-port networks
Suppose that a network N has two ports as shown below. How could it be
represented or modeled? A common way to represent such a network is to use one of
6 possible two-port networks. These networks are circuits that are based on one of 6
possible sets of two-port equations. These equations are simply different
combinations of two equations that relate the variables V1 , V2 , I1 , and I2 to one
another. The coefficients in these equations are referred to as two-port parameters.

Two-port equations
Two-port equations are sets of two equations relating the four variables labeled on
the diagram of the two-port network above. There are 6 possible ways to form sets
of two equations which express two of the variables in terms of the other two
variables. The 6 possible sets of equations are shown below.

Calculation of 2-port parameters using network equations
Consider the z-parameter equations shown below.
V1  z11  I1  z12  I 2
V2  z 21  I1  z 22  I 2
Note that V1 and V2 are functions of I1 and I2 . If general sources, I1 and I2 are added
to a network and the voltages V1 and V2 are calculated, the result will be expressions
for V1 and V2 that are functions of I1 and I2 . So the z-parameter equations are
naturally generated.
Similarly, y-parameters can be found by adding two general voltage sources V1 and
V2 and solving for the currents I1 and I2 .

Modeling Two-Port Networks
We have seen how two-port parameters can be determined for a given network.
Additionally, two-port parameters might be specified for a certain device by the
manufacturer (such as h-parameter values for a transistor). How are these parameters
used? They are used to form a circuit model for the device or circuit. A circuit model
is developed using the two-port parameter equations.
z-parameter model
The z-parameter equations are:
V1  z11  I1  z12  I 2
V2  z 21  I1  z 22  I 2
What sort of circuit model could be drawn that would satisfy these equations?

Development of the z-parameter model:
One possible circuit model could be developed by
treating each of the two-port parameter equations as
KVL equations (illustrate). This results in the
following circuit.

V2  z 21  I1  z 22  I 2

treating each of the two-port parameter equations as KCL

Development of the h-parameter model:
One possible circuit model could be developed by
treating one of the two-port parameter equations as a
KVL equation and the other as a KCL equation
(illustrate). This results in the following circuit.
