INTRODUCTION IMPEDANCE PARAMETER Impedance parameters are commonly used in the synthesis of filters They are also useful in the design and analysis of impedance-matching networks and power distribution networks The z parameter or the impedance parameter can be written in matrix form as
From which we can derive the equation
Z parameter have the unit of ohms From the above equations we can say that
we find z11 when port 2 is open circuit
we find z12 when port 1 is open circuit
we find z21 when port 2 is open circuit
we find z22 when port 1 is open circuit
EXAMPLE Find the z parameter of the circuit ADMITTANCE PARAMETER Similar to impedance parameter admittance parameters are also used in the synthesis of filters Admittance parameter can also be written as y parameter
Using the parameters of V1,V2,I1 and I2 we can derive
the 2 equations
From which we can derive the matrix
From the above matric and equation we can say
we find y11 by shorting port 2
we find y12 by shorting port 1
we find y21 by shorting port 2
we find y22 by shorting port 1
EXAMPLE HYBRID PARAMETERS There are times when the z and y parameters of a two- port network do not exist For time like these we derive another set of parameters called the hybrid parameters / h-parameters This set of parameters is based on making V1and I2 the
