Two Port Characterizations: Electronic Circuits 1

The document discusses two-port network characterizations and models. It introduces various two-port parameter descriptions including z-parameters, y-parameters, h-parameters, and g-parameters. These parameters are defined based on open and short circuit tests of the two ports. The document also covers connecting two-ports in series-series, shunt-shunt, series-shunt and shunt-series configurations. Finally, it provides an example of modeling a BJT as an h-parameter two-port network.

Inject a current to the input, find the voltage. The ratio of
the voltage to current gives the input resistance.
