Two Port Networks MCQ Quiz - Objective Question with Answer for Two Port Networks - Download Free PDF

The correct option is 3

Concept:

Two-port network parameters such as Z, Y, h, and T (ABCD) describe the relationship between voltages and currents at the input and output ports of a network. When two such networks are cascaded, their parameters combine in specific ways depending on the type of parameter used.

Calculation:

When two two-port networks A and B are cascaded:

• Impedance [Z] parameters cannot be directly multiplied. They are added when connected in series, not cascaded.
• Admittance [Y] parameters are added for parallel connection, not cascade.
• Hybrid [h] parameters cannot be used directly for cascading either.
• Transmission (ABCD) [T] parameters are specifically designed for cascade connection. When two networks are cascaded, the overall transmission matrix is the product of individual matrices:

[T] = [TA] × [TB] 

Explanation:

The h-parameters represent a two-port network with the following equations:

V1 = h11 * I1 + h12 * V2 I2 = h21 * I1 + h22 * V2

where:

• V1 is the input voltage
• I1 is the input current
• V2 is the output voltage
• I2 is the output current
• h11, h12, h21, and h22 are the h-parameters

The condition for reciprocity in a two-port network represented by h-parameters is:

h12 = -h21

Therefore, the correct answer is h12 = -h21.

Solution:

To find the Z parameters (Z₁₁, Z₁₂, Z₂₁, Z₂₂) for the given network, we need to understand the two-port network analysis. The Z-parameters or impedance parameters are defined by the following set of equations:

V₁ = Z₁₁I₁ + Z₁₂I₂

V₂ = Z₂₁I₁ + Z₂₂I₂

Where:

• V₁ is the input voltage
• V₂ is the output voltage
• I₁ is the input current
• I₂ is the output current

To determine the Z-parameters, we need to perform the following steps:

Step 1: Calculate Z₁₁

Z₁₁ is found by setting I₂ = 0 (open-circuit output). Under this condition, the input impedance is:

Z₁₁ = V₁ / I₁ (with I₂ = 0)

Step 2: Calculate Z₁₂

Z₁₂ is found by setting I₂ = 0 (open-circuit output). Under this condition, the reverse transfer impedance is:

Z₁₂ = V₁ / I₂ (with I₁ = 0)

Step 3: Calculate Z₂₁

Z₂₁ is found by setting I₁ = 0 (open-circuit input). Under this condition, the forward transfer impedance is:

Z₂₁ = V₂ / I₁ (with I₂ = 0)

Step 4: Calculate Z₂₂

Z₂₂ is found by setting I₁ = 0 (open-circuit input). Under this condition, the output impedance is:

Z₂₂ = V₂ / I₂ (with I₁ = 0)

Let's now solve these for the given options:

Correct Option Analysis:

The correct option is:

Option 3: 30Ω, 20Ω, 20Ω, 30Ω

We will validate this by calculating each of the Z parameters for the given network:

Z₁₁:

Given that I₂ = 0, V₁ = Z₁₁I₁. If Z₁₁ = 30Ω, then:

V₁ = 30Ω × I₁

Z₁₂:

Given that I₂ = 0 and assuming Z₁₂ = 20Ω, then:

V₁ = 20Ω × I₂

Z₂₁:

Given that I₁ = 0 and assuming Z₂₁ = 20Ω, then:

V₂ = 20Ω × I₁

Z₂₂:

Given that I₁ = 0, V₂ = Z₂₂I₂. If Z₂₂ = 30Ω, then:

V₂ = 30Ω × I₂

Thus, the Z-parameters are correctly given by option 3: Z₁₁ = 30Ω, Z₁₂ = 20Ω, Z₂₁ = 20Ω, Z₂₂ = 30Ω.

Let's analyze the other options to understand why they are incorrect:

Option 1: 40Ω, 20Ω, 20Ω, 40Ω

While Z₁₂ and Z₂₁ are the same as in the correct answer, Z₁₁ and Z₂₂ are different. For the given network, these values do not match the correct Z-parameter values.

Option 2: 40Ω, 30Ω, 30Ω, 40Ω

All the Z-parameter values here differ from the correct option. These values do not satisfy the given network's conditions.

Option 4: 30Ω, 30Ω, 30Ω, 30Ω

In this case, Z₁₂ and Z₂₁ are incorrectly given as 30Ω instead of 20Ω. This does not align with the correct Z-parameter values.

Conclusion:

By understanding the principles of Z-parameters and carefully analyzing the network, we have determined that the correct Z-parameters for the given network are Z₁₁ = 30Ω, Z₁₂ = 20Ω, Z₂₁ = 20Ω, and Z₂₂ = 30Ω, which corresponds to option 3.

The admittance matrix equation can be written as:

\( \begin{bmatrix} I_1 \\ I_2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} Y_{11} & Y_{12} \\ Y_{21} & Y_{22} \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} V_1 \\ V_2 \end{bmatrix} \)

Where:

• Y₁₁: Short-circuit input admittance.
• Y₁₂: Short-circuit reverse transfer admittance.
• Y₂₁: Short-circuit forward transfer admittance.
• Y₂₂: Short-circuit output admittance.

Y₂₁ represents the short-circuit forward current transfer ratio (admittance). It defines the relationship between the output current and input voltage when the output is short-circuited (V₂ = 0).

Additional Information 

• Option 2: Open-circuit voltage transfer ratio is not relevant to Y-parameters since they are defined under short-circuit conditions, not open-circuit.
• Option 3: Short-circuit reverse current transfer ratio is represented by Y₁₂, not Y₂₁.
• Option 4: Short-circuit reverse voltage transfer ratio is not a standard term used in the context of Y-parameters.

Understanding the Y-parameters and their significance in a 2-port network is crucial for analyzing and designing electrical circuits, especially in the context of network theory and electrical engineering.

Concept

The open circuit impedance parameters are given by:

\(V_1=Z_{11}I_1+Z_{12}I_2\)

\(V_2=Z_{21}I_1+Z_{22}I_2\)

Calculation

Applying KVL at the input side:

\(V_1=1{(I_1+I_2-3I_1)}\)

\(V_1=-2I_1+I_2\)

Applying KVL at the output side:

\(V_2=2{(I_2-3I_1)}-2I_1+I_2\)

\(V_2=-8I_1+3I_2\)

Comparing with the above expression we get:

open-circuit impedance matrix = \(\left[\begin{array}{ll} -2 & 1 \\ -8 & 3 \end{array}\right]\)

Concept:

Admittance Matrix:

• It is also known as a short circuit matrix or Y matrix.
• Y matrix is represented as:

\(\begin{bmatrix} Y_{11} & Y_{12}\\ Y_{21}& Y_{22} \end{bmatrix}\)= \(\begin{bmatrix} Y_{A}+ Y_{C}& -Y_{C}\\ -Y_{C}& Y_{B}+ Y_{C} \end{bmatrix}\)

• The condition of symmetry and reciprocity in Y parameters are given by:

Symmetry: \(Y_{11}= Y_{22}\)

Reciprocity: \(Y_{12}= Y_{21}\)

Explanation:

Given, that the Y matrix is \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ {\frac{1}{2}} \end{array}\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - \frac{1}{2}}\\ 0 \end{array}} \right]\)

Here, \(Y_{12}\neq Y_{21}\)

Hence Y matrix is not reciprocal.

The shunt admittance dissipates energy, hence it is a passive element.

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

A two-port network is said to be symmetrical if the input and output ports can be interchanged without altering the port voltages and currents.

A network is said to be reciprocal if the ratio of the response to the excitation is invariant to an interchange of the positions of the excitation and response of the network.

Conditions of reciprocity and symmetry in terms of different two-port parameters are:

The application of different two port network parameters are shown below.

h₁₂ = V₁/V₂ → dimensionless

h₂₁ = I₂/I₁ → dimensionless

h₁₁ = V₁/I₁ → ohms

B = V₁/I₂ → ohms

C = I₁/V₂ → mho

AD → dimensionless

Concept:

Z parameter:

We will get the following set of two equations by considering the variables V₁ & V2 as dependent and I₁ & I₂ as an independent. The coefficients of independent variables, I₁ and I₂ are called Z parameters.

V₁ = Z₁₁I₁ +Z₁₂I₂

V₂ = Z₂₁I₁+ Z₂₂I₂

Calculation:

Apply KVL on loop 1:

⇒ V₁ = 5I₁ + 20(I₁ + I₂)

⇒ V1 = 25I1 + 20I2 ------------ (1)

Apply KVL on loop 2:

⇒  V₂ = 10I2 + 20(I1 + I2)

⇒ V2 = 20I1 + 30I2 -------------(2)

Compare equation 1 and 2 with Z parameter equations:

 Z11 = 25Ω, Z22 = 30Ω

Alternate Method For a T equivalent network as shown below 

Z₁₁ = (Z₁ + Z₃) = (5+20) = 25Ω 

Z₂₂ = (Z₂ + Z₃) = (10 + 20) = 30Ω 

Z₁₂ = Z₂₁ = Z₃ = 20Ω 

Concept:

The Z-parameter for a T-equivalent two-port network is,

\(\left[ Z \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{Z_{11}}}&{{Z_{12}}}\\ {{Z_{21}}}&{{Z_{22}}} \end{array}} \right]\)

Where

Z₁₁ is open circuit impedance

Z₁₂ = Z₂₁ = Transfer impedance

Z₂₂ = Open circuit output impedance

Calculation:

By using delta to star conversion, the given circuit can be reduced.

\({R_1} = \frac{{4 \times 2}}{{4 + 2 + 2}} = \frac{8}{8} = 1\;{\rm{\Omega }}\)

\({R_2} = \frac{{2 \times 2}}{{4 + 2 + 2}} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}\;{\rm{\Omega }}\)

\({R_3} = \frac{{4 \times 2}}{{4 + 2 + 2}} = \frac{8}{8} = 1\;{\rm{\Omega }}\)

The modified circuit is,

Now, by comparing the above circuit with T-equivalent network of Z-parameter matrix,

\(\left[ Z \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 4&3\\ 3&{3.5} \end{array}} \right]\)

A two-port network is said to be symmetrical if the input and output ports can be interchanged without altering the port voltages and currents.

A network is said to be reciprocal if the ratio of the response to the excitation is invariant to an interchange of the positions of the excitation and response of the network.

Conditions of reciprocity and symmetry in terms of different two-port parameters are:

Concept:

Y parameters

These are also called the admittance parameters.

The Y parameters for the two-port network are shown as:

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{I_1}}\\ {{I_2}} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{Y_{11}}}&{{Y_{12}}}\\ {{Y_{21}}}&{{Y_{22}}} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{V_1}}\\ {{V_2}} \end{array}} \right]\)

I1 = Y11V1 + Y12V2

I2 = Y21V1 + Y22V2

Calculation:

When V₂ = 0 or short circuit port 2

Then, I₁ = Y₁₁ V₁

I₂ = Y₂₁ V₁

V₁ and I₁ relation can be drawn from current division rule as

\(V_1 = 0.5\times ({\frac{0.5}{0.5+0.5}})I_1\)

V₁ = 0.25I₁

I₁ = 4V₁

Y11 = 4 S

similarly, V1 and I2 relation can be drawn as

V₁ = 0.5(-I₂)

I₂ = -2V₁

Y21 = -2 S

By applying the same procedure for port 1

When V1 = 0 or short circuit port 1

Then, I1 = Y12 V2

I2 = Y22 V2

V2 and I2 relation can be drawn from current division rule as

\(V_2 = 0.5\times ({\frac{0.5}{0.5+0.5}})I_2\)

V2 = 0.25I2

I2 = 4V2

Y22 = 4 S

similarly, V1 and I2 relation can be drawn as

V2 = 0.5(-I1)

I1 = -2V2

Y12 = -2 S

\( \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{Y_{11}}}&{{Y_{12}}}\\ {{Y_{21}}}&{{Y_{22}}} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {4}&{-2}\\ {-2}&{4} \end{array}} \right]~S\)

Hence option 1 is correct

For the given π network 

Y parameter can be calculated by

\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{I_1}}\\ {{I_2}} \end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{Y_1} + {Y_2}}&{ - {Y_2}}\\ { - {Y_2}}&{{Y_2} + {Y_3}} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{V_1}}\\ {{V_2}} \end{array}} \right]\\ \)

Substituting the value of Y₁, Y_2, and Y₃

\(= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\left( {2 +2} \right)}&{\left( { - 2} \right)}\\ {\left( { - 2} \right)}&{\left( {2 + 2} \right)} \end{array}} \right] \\\)

\(= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {4}&{ - 2}\\ { - 2}&{4} \end{array}} \right]~S\)

Concept:

I₁ = Y₁₁ V₁ + Y₁₂ V₂

I₂ = Y₂₁ V₁ + Y₂₂ V₂

When port 1 is short cirucited, i.e. V₁ = 0,

I₁ = Y₁₂ V₂ and I₂ = Y₂₂ V₂

Calculation:

The given equations are:

I₁ = 4I₂ and V₂ = 0.25 I₂

⇒ I₂ = 4V₂ ⇒ Y₂₂ = 4

I₁ = 4 (4V₂) = 16 V₂

Concept:

Y parameter:

I₁ = V₁ Y₁₁ + V₂ Y₁₂

I₂ = V₁ Y₂₁ + V₂ Y₂₂

\({I_1} = \frac{{{V_1} - {V_2}}}{Z}\)

\({I_1} = \frac{{{V_1}}}{Z} - \frac{1}{Z}\;{V_2}\)     ...1)

\({I_2} = - \frac{1}{Z}\;{V_1} + \frac{1}{Z}\;{V_2}\)     ...2)

\(\left[ y \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{1}{Z}}&{ - \frac{1}{Z}} \\ { - \frac{1}{Z}}&{\frac{1}{Z}} \end{array}} \right]\)

Calculation:

For the given question Z = 5 Ω

\(\therefore \left[ y \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{1}{5}}&{ - \frac{1}{5}} \\ { - \frac{1}{5}}&{\frac{1}{5}} \end{array}} \right]\)
