The Laplace transform method follows the same process: We use the Laplace
transformation to transform the circuit from the time domain to the frequency
domain,obtain the solution, and apply the inverse Laplace transform to the result to
transform it back to the time domain.
The Laplace transform is significant for a number of reasons. First, it can be applied to
a wider variety of inputs than phasor analysis. Second, it provides an easy way to solve
circuit problems involving initial conditions, because it allows us to work with
algebraic equations instead of differential equations. Third, the Laplace transform is
capable of providing us, in one single operation, the total response of the circuit
comprising both the natural and forced responses

2 Define a Port.
A pair of terminals through which a current may enter or leave a network is known as a
port. Two-terminal devices or elements (such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors)
result in one-port networks.
4 Define Z-Parameter? Or Relate voltage and current in a two port network using Z
parameters.(May -2019)
A two-port network may be voltage-driven or current-driven . From either the terminal
voltages can be related to the terminal currents as or in matrix form as where the z terms

EC1205- Circuit Analysis Department of ECE 2022-2023
are called the impedance parameters, or simply z parameters, and have units of ohms.
The values of the parameters can be evaluated by setting I1 = 0(input port open-
circuited) or I2 = 0 (output port open-circuited).
5 Give the condition for reciprocity and symmetrical condition for Z parameter.
When z11 = z22, the two-port network is said to be symmetrical. This implies that the
network has mirror like symmetry about some center line; that is, a line can be found
that divides the network into two similar halves. When the two-port network is linear
and has no dependent sources,
the transfer impedances are equal (z12 = z21), and the two-port is said to be reciprocal.
This means that if the points of excitation and response are interchanged, the transfer
impedances remain the same.
6 Why h parameters are extensively used in transistor circuits?
In the design of transistor amplifier circuits, one must know the input impedance, output
impedance, voltage gain and current gain of the transistor used. In this regard, h
parameter suited to transistor circuit as these parameters can be most conveniently
measured.
8 Define Y parameters?
A two-port network may be voltage-driven or current-driven . From either the terminal
voltages can be related to the terminal currents as or in matrix form as where the Y
terms are called the admittance parameters, or simply Y parameters, and have units of
mhos. The values of the parameters can be evaluated by setting V1 = 0(input port short-
circuited) or V2 = 0 (output port short -circuited).
9 Give the condition for reciprocity and symmetrical condition for Y parameter.
When Y11 = Y22, the two-port network is said to be symmetrical. This implies that the
network has mirror like symmetry about some center line; that is, a line can be found
that divides the network into two similar halves. When the two-port network is linear

and has no dependent sources,the transfer admittances are equal (Y12 = Y21), and the
two-port is said to be reciprocal. This means that if the points of excitation and response
are interchanged, the transfer admittances remain the same.
10 Draw the general equivalent model of Y parameters.
11 Define H parameters?
Set of parameters is based on making V1 and I2 the dependent variables. The h terms
are known as the hybrid parameters (or, simply, h parameters) because they are a
hybrid combination of ratios. They are very useful for describing electronic devices
such as transistors.
