Concept:

Transmission or ABCD parameters

General two-port network and Transmission parameters two-port network is shown below.

Transmission 2 port network

The direction of I2 is opposite to the standard form so it is taken as negative.

Transmission parameters are defined as:

V1 and I1 are dependent and V2 and I2 are independent.

Calculation:

From the ABCD parameters matrix, we get the following equations.

V= A V2 – B I2   ---(1)

I1 = C V2 - D I2   ---(2)

To calculate C, we open circuit the output terminal as shown:

Using Equation (1), we get:

I1 = C V2 

Since I2 = 0, the current across Zb will be I1, i.e.

V2 = I1 × Zb
