1. For the two-port network shown below, assume R1 = R2 = 10kΩ. What is the value of the hybrid-pi conductance in low frequency H-parameters h22 ?
Find value of hybrid-pi conductance in low frequency H-parameters h22 for two-port network
a) 0.1 mho
b) 10 mhos
c) 20 mhos
d) 15 mhos
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: To calculate h22, we open circuit the input terminal. Hence the current flowing through resistor R1 is zero and the voltage V1 across the input terminal is equal to the voltage V2 across output terminal. Therefore, to find h22, given that R2 = 10kΩ.
V1 = V2
I2 = V2 / 10 kΩ
h22 = I2 / V2 = 0.1 mho

2. For the two-port network shown below, assume R1 = R2 = 10kΩ. What is the value of the hybrid-pi in low frequency H-parameters h11 ?
Find value of hybrid-pi conductance in low frequency H-parameters h11 for two-port network
a) 10kΩ
b) 20kΩ
c) 10kΩ
d) 5kΩ
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: To calculate h11, we short circuit the output terminal. Hence the current flowing through resistor R2 is zero. Therefore, to find h11, given that R1 = 10kΩ.
V1 = R1 x I1 (According to Ohm’s law)
h11 = V1 / I1 = R1 x I1 / I1 = R1 = 10kΩ.

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The inverse hybrid-pi conductance in low frequency H-parameters g11 for a two-port network is calculated by open circuiting the output terminal. In this case, the current I2 is equal to zero. The parameter g11 is calculated by taking the ratio of input terminal current over input terminal voltage.
