This document discusses traveling waves and scattering parameters for analyzing multi-port networks. It begins by defining traveling waves as voltage and current waves that propagate through transmission lines. It then introduces scattering parameters (S-parameters) which describe the input-output relationship of linear electrical networks with multiple ports. S-parameters are presented as elements of a scattering matrix that relates incoming and outgoing wave amplitudes at each port. Methods for calculating reflection and transmission coefficients from S-parameters are provided for characterizing two-port networks. The analysis is then generalized to n-port networks using scattering matrices. Key parameters like return loss, insertion loss, and available power are defined in terms of S-parameters.

Multistage amplifiers connect multiple amplifiers together to increase overall gain. The overall gain is calculated by multiplying the individual gains. When amplifiers with equal cutoff frequencies are cascaded, the multistage circuit's cutoff frequency and bandwidth are determined by formulas involving the individual amplifier parameters. Common multistage configurations include cascade, cascode, and Darlington connections. Cascade connections simply couple outputs to inputs, providing high overall gain. Cascode connections improve input impedance while maintaining single-stage gain. Darlington connections have very high current gain equal to the product of individual transistor gains.
