CHAPTER 4

TWO PORT NETWORKS


 Port: A pair of terminals through which a current or voltage may enter or leave a network.
 Two-terminal devices or elements (such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors) result in
one-port networks.
 The current entering one terminal leaves through the other
terminal so that the net current entering the port equals zero.
 Two-port networks: (a four-terminal network) is an electrical network with two separate
ports for input and output.
 There are four terminal variables,
 Namely V1, V2, I1 and I2
1
 Two of them are treated as independent.

 Method 1: Calculate or measure by making appropriate short-circuit and open-circuit
conditions at the input and output ports.
