Engineering Circuit Analysis: International Student Version, Tenth Edition

Chapter 16. TWO-PORT NETWORKS

THE LEARNING GOALS FOR THIS CHAPTER ARE:

• Know how to calculate admittance, impedance, hybrid, and transmission parameters for two-port networks

• Be able to convert between admittance, impedance, hybrid, and transmission parameters

• Understand the interconnection of two-port networks to form more complicated networks

High Definition Television You can see more clearly now—up to five times more clearly. That's what you get from today's high definition television with one to two million picture elements (pixels) per frame. Thinking back to when you first experienced HDTV, you may wonder how you could ever have been satisfied with standard television—itself leaps ahead of your grandparent's black-and-white TV that received broadcasts during only a few hours of the day.

Resolution is the main reason why HDTV gives such a supersharp picture. High resolution is achieved in HDTV broadcast systems by transmitting millions of pixels at a high frame rate. You enjoy HDTV not only because of the high-resolution broadcast system but because your HDTV has sophisticated internal electronics that convert these received digital video compressed signals to a superior picture quality. It's the ultimate input-output system for entertainment.

In this chapter, we describe two-port networks in terms of input and output voltages and currents. Four sets of two-port parameters are examined, ...
