    Z-Matrices

    As an example of Z-matrix, consider this 2-port network. The Z-matrix can be written as:

    Z-Parameters

    where

    Z-matrix helps to relate the terminal port voltages and currents to each other, which is helpful to determine the behavior of an unknown device connected between the two ports.

    T- Network Example

    This matrix is symmetric

    T- Network Example

    The Z- matrix representation is also useful when two or more networks are connected in Series

    We can simply add the Z-matrices to form the final Z-matrix that incorporates the electrical characteristics of both networks and their mutual interaction

    Y-Matrix

    A closely related characterization of a 2-port network is Y-matrix description:

    where

    Useful when connecting networks in parallel.

    Matrices for Microwave Networks

    We can generalize these Z and Y parameter descriptions for microwave networks and multi-port networks.

    Consider an N-port Network connected to N number of transmission lines.

    Voltages and Currents Vn , In

    At these terminal planes (also called phase planes), we defined our reference position as zn=0. The voltage on nthTL becomes:

    This means that at these terminal phase planes i.e., our reference position at zn=0, the voltage on TL is the sum of the incident waves and outgoing waves.
