TYPES OF NETWORKS
Linear and Nonlinear Networks:
A network is linear if the principle of superposition holds i.e if e1(t), r1 (t) and e2(t),
r2 (t) are excitation and response pairs then if excitation is e1 (t) + e2 (t) then the response is r1 (t)
+ r2(t).
The network not satisfying this condition is nonlinear
Ex:- Linear Resistors, Inductors, Capacitors.
Nonlinear Semiconductors devices like transistors, saturated iron core inductor,
capacitance of a p-n function.
Passive and active Networks:
A Linear network is passive if (i) the energy delivered to the network is nonnegative
for any excitation. (ii) no voltages and currents appear between any two terminals before any
excitation is applied.
Example:- R,L and C.
Active network:- Networks containing devices having internal energy Generators,
amplifiers and oscillators.
Unilateral & Bilateral:
The circuit, in which voltage current relationship remains unaltered with the reversal
of polarities of the source, is said to be bilateral.
Ex:- R, L & C
If V-I relationships are different with the reversal of polarities of the source, the
circuit is said to be unilateral.
Ex:- semiconductor diodes.
Lumped & Distributed:
Elements of a circuit, which are separated physically, are known as lumped
elements.
Ex:- L & C.
Elements, which are not separable for analytical purposes, are known as distributed
elements.
Ex:- transmission lines having R, L, C all along their length.
In the former care Kirchhoffs laws hold good but in the latter case Maxwells laws
are required for rigorous solution.
Reciprocal:
A network is said to be reciprocal if when the locations of excitation and response
are interchanged, the relationship between them remains the same.

SOURCE SHIFTING
Source shifting is occasionally used to simplify a network. This situation arises because of the fact
than an ideal voltage source cannot be replaced by a current source. Like wise ideal current source
cannot be replaced by a voltage source. But such a source transformation is still possible if the
following techniques are fallowed.

Delta-star transformation
A set of star connected (Y or T) immittances can be replaced by an equivalent set of mesh
( or ) connected immittances or vice versa. Such a transformation is often necessary to simplify
passive networks, thus avoiding the need for any mesh or nodal analysis.
For equivalence, the immittance measured between any two terminals under specified
conditions must be the same in either case.

Consider three -connected impedances Z AB , Z BC and Z CA across terminals A, B and C. It
is required to replace these by an equivalent set Z A , Z B and Z C connected in star.

NETWORK THEOREMS
Mesh current or node voltage methods are general methods which are applicable to any network. A
number of simultaneous equations are to be set up. Solving these equations, the response in all the
branches of the network may be attained. But in many cases, we require the response in one branch
or in a small part of the network. In such cases, we can use network theorems, which are the aides
to simplify the analysis. To reduce the amount of work involved by considerable amount, as
compared to mesh or nodal analysis. Let us discuss some of them.

SUPERPOSITION THEOREM
The response of a linear network with a number of excitations applied simultaneously is
equal to the sum of the responses of the network when each excitation is applied individually
replacing all other excitations by their internal impedances.
Here the excitation means an independent source. Initial voltage across a capacitor and the
initial current in an inductor are also treated as independent sources.
This theorem is applicable only to linear responses and therefore power is not subject to
superposition.
During replacing of sources, dependent sources are not to be replaced. Replacing an ideal
voltage source is by short circuit and replacing an ideal current source is by open circuit.
In any linear network containing a number of sources, the response (current in or voltage
across an element) may be calculated by superposing all the individual responses caused by each
independent source acting alone, with all other independent voltage sources replaced by short
circuits and all other independent current sources replaced by open circuits. Initial capacitor
voltages and initial inductor currents, if any, are to be treated as independent sources.
To prove this theorem consider the network shown in fig.

In an initially relaxed linear network containing one independent source only. The ratio
of the response to the excitation is invariant to an interchange of the position of the
excitation and the response.
i.e if a single voltage source Ex in branch X produces a current response I y the branch Y,
then the removal of the voltage source from branch x and its insertion in branch Y will
produce the current response I y in branch X.
Similarly if the single current source Ix between nodes X and X produces the voltage
response Vy between nodes Y and Y then the removal of the current source from X and X
and its insertion between Y and Y will produce the voltage response Vy between the
nodes X and X.
Between the excitation and the response, one is voltage and other is current. It should be
noted that after the source and response are interchanged, the current and the voltages in
other parts of the network will not remain the same.

Transfer Impedance :
The transfer impedance between any two pairs of terminals of a linear passive network is
the ratio of the voltage applied at one pair of terminals to the resulting current at the other
pair of terminals .
With this definition the reciprocity theorem can be stated as :
Only one value of transfer impedance is associated with two pairs of terminals of
a linear passive network .

Thevinins and Nortons Theorems:

If we are interested in the solution of the current or voltage of a small part of the network,
it is convenient from the computational point of view to simplify the network, except that
small part in question, by a simple equivalent. This is achieved by Thevinins Theorem or
Nortons theorem.

Thevinins Theorem :
If two linear networks one M with passive elements and sources and the other N with
passive elements only and there is no magnetic coupling between M and N, are connected
together at terminals A and B, then with respect to terminals A and B, the network M can

be replaced by an equivalent network comprising a single voltage source in series with a
single impedance. The single voltage source is the open circuit voltage across the
terminals A and B and single series impedance is the impedance of the network M as
viewed from A and B with independent voltage sources short circuited and independent
current sources open circuited. Dependent sources if any are to be retained.
Arrange the networks M and N such that N is the part of the network where response is
required.

The Thevinins equivalent consists of a voltage source and a series impedance . If the
circuit is transformed to its equivalent current source, we get Nortons equivalent. Thus
Nortons theorem is the dual of the Thevinins theorem.
If two linear networks, one M with passive elements and sources and the other N with
passive elements only and with no magnetic coupling between M and N, are connected
together at terminals A and B, Then with respect to terminals A and B, the network M can
be replaced by a single current source in parallel with a single impedance. The single
current source is the short circuit current in AB and the single impedance is the
impedance of the network M as viewed from A and B with independent sources being
replaced by their internal impedances
The proof of the Nortons theorem is simple
Consider the same network that is considered for the Thevinins Theorem and for the
same response.

Step 1: Short the terminals A and B and measure the short circuit current in AB, this is Nortons
current source.

Determination of Thevinins or Nortons equivalent when dependent sources are present
Since

Z TH +Z L

Z TH can also be determined as Z TH

=V TH = o.c voltage across AB

IN
s.c current in AB

When network contains both dependent and independent sources. It is convenient to

determine Z TH by finding both the open circuit voltage and short circuit current
If the network contains only dependent sources both V TH and I N are zero in the absence of
independent sources. Then apply a constant voltage source (or resultant source) and the ratio of
voltage to current gives the Z TH . However there cannot be an independent source ie, V TH or I N in
the equivalent network.

Maximum Transfer Theorem:When a linear network containing sources and passive elements is connected at terminals A
and B to a passive linear network, maximum power is transferred to the passive network when its
impedance becomes the complex conjugate of the Thevinins impedance of the source containing
network as viewed form the terminals A and B.
Fig represents a network with sources replaced by its Thevinins equivalent of source of
E TH volts and impedance Z s , connected to a passive network of impedance z at terminals A & B.
With Z s =Rs+JXs and z=R+JX, The proof of the theorem is as follows

large compared to Rs. Therefore constant voltage power systems are not designed to operate on the
basis of maximum power transfer.
However in communication systems the power to be handled is small as these systems are low
current circuits. Thus impedance matching is considerable factor in communication networks.

However between R & X if either R or X is restricted and between Z and if either |Z| or is
restricted the conditions for Max P is stated as follows
Case (i) :- R of Z is varied keeping X constant with R only Variable, conditions for max power
transfer is (Rs+R)2+(Xs+X)2 2R(R s +R)=0
Rs2+ R2+ 2RsR+(Xs+X)2-2RsR-2R2=0
R2= Rs2+(Xs+X)2
R= Rs 2 + (Xs + X) 2
Case (ii):- If Z contains only R ie, x=0 then from the eqn derived above
R=|Zs|. Rs 2 + Xs 2
Case (iii):- If |Z| is varied keeping constant then from (8) |Z|=|Zs|
Case (iv):- If |Z| is constant but is varied
Then from eqn (9) (Z2+Zs2) Sin =-2Z Zs Sins
Sin = -2ZZs Sin s
(Z2+Zs2)
Then power transfer to load may be calculated by substituting for R and X for specified condition.
For example
For case(ii) Pmax is given by
Pmax = E2R
(Rs+R)2+(Xs+X)2
= E2Zs

Millmans Theorem:
Certain simple combinations of potential and current source equivalents are of use because they
offer simplification in solutions of more extensive networks in which combinations occur.
Millmans Theorem says that if a number of voltage sources with internal impedances are
connected in parallel across two terminals, then the entire combination can be replaced by a single
voltage source in series with single impedance.
The single voltage is the ratio
Sum of the product of individual voltage sources and their series admittances
Sum of all series admittances
and the single series impedance is the reciprocal of sum of all series admittances.

PORT:- Pair of terminals at which an electrical signal enters or leaves a network.

One port network:- Network having only one port.
Ex: Domestic appliances, Motor, Generator, Thevinins or Norton networks
Two port network:- Network having an input port and an output port.
Ex:Amplifiers,Transistors, communication circuits, Power transmission & distribution lines
Filters,attenuators ,transformers etc
Multi port network:-Network having more than two ports.
Ex: PowerTransmission lines, DistributionsLines,Communication lines.

Two port networks act as building blocks of

electrical or electronic circuits such as electronic
systems, communication circuits, control systems
and transmission & distribution systems. A one
port or two port network can be connected with
another two port network either in cascade, series
or in parallel. In Thevinins or Nortons networks ,
we are not interested in the detailed working of a
major part of the network. Similarly it is not
necessary to know the inner working of the two
port network but by measuring the voltages and
currents at input and at output port, the network
can be characterized with a set of parameters to
predict how a two port network interact with other

shorthand method for analyzing the input-output
properties of two ports without having to deal
directly with the highly complex circuit internal to
the two port.
These networks are linear and passive and may contain controlled sources but not

While defining two port parameters we put the condition that one of the ports is either open
circuited or short circuited.
In these networks there are four variables V 1 , I 1 and V 2 , I 2 . Two of them are expressed in
terms of the other two, to define two port parameters.

COMPUTATIONS OF TWO PORT PARAMETERS:

A. By direct method i.e. using definitions
For z parameters, open output port (I 2 =0) find V 1 & V 2 in terms of I 1 by equations
Calculate Z 11 =V 1 /I 1 &Z 21 =V 2 /I 1 .
Open input port (I 1 =0) find V 1 & V 2 in terms of I 2 .Calculate Z 12 =V 1 /I 2 &Z 22 =V 2 /I 2
Similar procedure may be followed for y parameters by short circuiting the ports
h & t parameters may be obtained by a combination of the above procedures.
B.

z and y parameters:By node & mesh equations in standard form

For a reciprocal network (passive without controlled sources) with only two current
Sources at input and output nodes,the node equations are
I 1 =Y 11 V 1 +Y 12 V 2 +Y 1 3V 3 +--------- +Y 1n V n
I 2 =Y 21 V 1 +Y 22 V 2 +Y 23 V 3 +--------- +Y 2n V n

D. The above methods are based on the assumptions that the network does not contain controlled
sources. However irrespective of the presence of the controlled sources., network equations
may be written and then by any elimination process variables other than V 1 ,V 2 ,I 1 & I 2 are
eliminated. Then resulting two equations are brought to the Required form of two port
parameters by manipulation.

SYMMETRICAL CONDITIONS
A two port is said to be symmetrical if the ports can be interchanged
without changing the port voltage and currents..

i.e.

if

V1
V
= 2
I1 I 2 = 0 I 2 I1 = 0

z11 = z 22

By using the relationship between z and other parameters we can obtain the conditions for
Symmetry in terms of other parameters.
As z 11 =z 22 , in terms of y we have y 11 =z 12 /dz & y 22 =z 1 /dz, y 11 =y 22 .
In terms of h parameters as z 11 =h/h 22 & z 22 =1/h 22 we have h=h 11 h 22 - h 12 h 21 = 1.
In terms of t parameters as z 1 =A/C & z 22 =D/C the condition is A=D

Writing the network from equations:
1) To write the network from mesh equations:
With the equations in matrix form [E]=[Z][I] and all meshes in clockwise direction, draw
the graph of the network keeping in mind that there is a branch between mesh J and mesh K if Zjk
exists and the number of meshes is equal to the number of Is. If Zjk is zero,there is no branch
common to meshes J and K.
For example, if the network contains 3 meshes with mutual Z exists among all the three, the graph
is of the form as shown in fig 1.
On the other hand if there is no mutual Z between first and third meshes the graph is of the form
as shown in fig 2

Fig.1

Fig.2

With this information

Insert in each mutual line, the respective mutual Z.(negative of Zjk)
Insert in non-mutual line the sum Z KK + Z Kj for the Kth mesh.
Insert E K in the non mutual line of mesh K. This is not unique since E K can be split into
many Es and may be placed in many branches of the Kth mesh or loop.
Thus the network is obtained.
Problem
For the equations shown draw the network

2) To write the network from node equations:

The number of equations indicate the number of independent nodes and non diagonal terms
indicate ve of the mutual admittances between the respective nodes
. Zero in the non diagonal terms indicate no branh between the respective nodes.With this
information draw the graph of the network including reference node.
Insert in each mutual branch the respective mutual admittance (-ve of the non diagonal
term)
Insert in non mutual line the sum Y KK +K Kj for the Kth node.
Insert I K in the non mutual line of the node K. This is not unique since I K can be split into
may Is distributed in some of the other branches connected to node K.
Thus obtain the network..
For example, if the network contains 3 independent nodes with mutual Y among all the three, the
graph is of the form shown in fig 1
On the other hand if mutual Y exists between two nodes only then the graph is of the form shown
in fig 2
