DT, Kevin t. lectric Circuit Thery DT87/ Tw-Prt netwrk parameters ummary We have seen previusly that a tw-prt netwrk has a pair f input terminals and a pair f utput terminals figure. These circuits were analysed using several circuit techniques such as mesh, ndal, superpsitin, Thevenin and Nrtn t predict the behavir f the netwrk. A further technique is t use the input and utput current and vltages,, V i, V t generate sets f parameters. By cnsidering a cmbinatin f currents and vltages and taking the input current r the input vltage r a cmbinatin f current and vltage as the independent variable we generate six different types f parameters. Fr example if we cnsider the input and utput current as the independent variables, we generate the parameters. f we take the input and utput vltages as the independent variables, we generate the Y parameters. Anther set f parameters, the hybrid (mixed and Y r h-parameters uses the input current and utput vltage as the independent variables. The remaining three cmbinatins have specialized use and will nt be discussed here.

DT, Kevin t. lectric Circuit Thery DT87/ T netwrk, eries-tuned CR We can classify these as ymmetrical r asymmetrical netwrks and Balanced r unbalanced netwrks. A symmetrical netwrk is defined as a netwrk such that when the i/p and /p terminals are interchanged, the electrical prperties f the i/p and /p remain unaltered. A Tee netwrk with equal series arms is an example f such a symmetrical netwrk. f the series arms were nt equal then the netwrk is asymmetrical. nterchanging the i/p and /p wuld change the electrical prperties f the i/p and /p. Further classificatin is a balanced netwrk where the tw input arms cntain the same elements. A tee netwrk is an example f an unbalanced netwrk.
