Two Port Networks
Two port network can be three terminal with one
terminal common to input and output ports. The
common terminal can be ground.
Or four terminals with only ground as common
terminal
We can have four variables two of which can be
independent and the other two become dependent.
If we further restrict our choice to one independent
variable at input port and one at output, we have four
types of representations possible. They are z, y and
h, g parameters.

y-parameters
Y-parameters:
Voltages are independent variables and currents are
dependent
These are called Short Circuit parameters based on
the method of measuring. These are the most popular
parameters as shorting at high frequencies can easily
be done.

Interchange input and output ports as
also driving source and mode of output
Passivity:
Forward transmission = Reverse Transmission
Output Expression = I(R1)

h & g are hybrid parameters
h-parameter has independent variable at
Input as current and at output as voltage
Here forward transfer parameter is short circuit
current gain and reverse transfer parameter is the
open circuit voltage gain
