Two-Port Models

What you'll learn

Delivering concept of a two-port network and how it simplifies circuit analysis.
Students learn the four major two-port parameter sets: y-parameters, z-parameters, h-parameters, and ABCD parameters.
The student would be able to design and evaluate multistage amplifiers, impedance matching networks, and feedback systems using matrix-based approaches.
After completing this course, students will be able to confidently model and analyze complex analog circuits using two-port theory.

Requirements

Basic Circuit theory

Description

Welcome to this essential course in the Fundamentals of Microelectronics series, where we focus on one of the most powerful tools in analog circuit analysis: the two-port model. Whether you're designing amplifiers, analyzing feedback networks, or modeling complex sub-circuits, two-port representations provide the bridge between physical devices and system-level understanding.In this course, we'll explore how to model microelectronic components and circuits using a range of two-port parameter sets—including h-parameters, y-parameters, z-parameters, and g-parameters—and understand where each shines in both theory and practice. We'll dig into:The motivation behind two-port modeling and when it's essentialHow to extract two-port parameters from physical measurements or device modelsThe hybrid-π model of the BJT and its mapping to two-port h-parametersInput and output impedance analysis using two-port modelsUsing two-port models in multi-stage amplifier design, cascading systems, and feedback analysisThroughout the course, you'll build the intuition to translate real transistor behavior into analytical models that predict performance and guide design choices. The audio format emphasizes clarity, flow, and conceptual connections—making this the perfect companion whether you're on a walk, commuting, or reviewing before a design session.By the end of this course, you'll not only be fluent in using two-port models—you'll see how they fit into the broader language of microelectronics.

Who this course is for

This course is intended for undergraduate students and graduate students pursuing a degree in electrical engineering, and design engineers.
