6 INVERSE HYBRID (OR g) PARAMETERS

If V 1 and I 2 are chosen as independent variables, the two-port network equations may be written as

In matrix form, these equations are written as

The constants g 11, g 12, g 21, and g 22 are known as inverse hybrid parameters or g-parameters. The gparameters are defined as follows by using Equations (10.9) and (10.10).
If I 2 = 0 the output port is open circuit.

open circuit input admittance.

open circuit forward voltage gain.

If
V 1 = 0 the input port is short circuit.

short circuit reverse current gain.

short circuit output impedance.

From the definitions of the g-parameters, it is seen that g 11 has the dimensions of admittance, g 21 and
g 12 are dimensionless, and g 22 has the dimensions of impedance.
By Equations (10.9) and (10.10), the equivalent circuit of a two-port network is as shown in the figure.
