13.5.3 Ladder Network

A ladder network is a cascade or series connection of many T- and p-Sections. There are two

types of ladder networks.

1. T-section ladder network.

2. p-Section ladder network.

These are shown in Figures 13.9 and 13.10, respectively.

T-section Ladder Network

It is formed by connecting many T-sections in series, as shown in Figure 13.9.
