Problem 18.1 Determine the Z parameters for the following circuit.
The solution for this problem is straightforward and involves a series of exciting the circuit with a
current source at both the input and the output and then measuring the voltage at the input and the
output.

Carefully DEFINE the problem.
Each component is labeled completely. The problem is clear if all that is being asked is to
find the z parameters.
PRESENT everything you know about the problem.
This is basically a linear circuit with resistors.
Establish a set of ALTERNATIVE solutions and determine the one that promises the
greatest likelihood of success.
It is clear that all we need to do is to excite the circuit with a current source and make open
circuit measurements as we have done earlier in this chapter.
ATTEMPT a problem solution.
The first thing we need to do is to use circuit reductions to make our calculations easier. The
following circuits are reductions of the above. Please note that the two 1-ohm resistors are in

This problem has been solved satisfactorily. However, a concern is raised as to why we
would want a circuit where some of the resistance is lost. So when you report the solution,
you should point out that this looks like something that needs further investigating.
Problem 18.9 Your boss now comes back and asks you to connect the two circuits together
in series as shown in the following circuit.
It is clear that the two circuits are connected by a short, which produces the
following circuit.
The two 1-ohm resistors can be combined into a 2-ohm resistor and we have this

Clearly this is a different answer. We again take our results to the boss.
Problem 18.10 Our boss now asks us to determine how to successfully cascade, in series.
Carefully DEFINE the problem.
Now, after trying two different configurations, which, if either, is correct.
PRESENT everything you know about the problem.
Most of what we know is represented in the two previous problems and the fact that the two
circuits need to function in series. We look at some textbooks and find that when two circuits
are connected in series, the z parameters add.
Establish a set of ALTERNATIVE solutions and determine the one that promises the
greatest likelihood of success.
The two previous problems represent two alternatives for connecting the circuits together.
Clearly one of these is not correct. There is a third way of connecting the circuits in series
and that is to connect the two tops together in the center. However, that results in a dead
short from the input to the output. This then is not the answer. We could add the z
parameters together and see what we get.
ATTEMPT a problem solution.

EVALUATE the solution and check for accuracy.
Since this agrees with the solution from the second form of the circuit, it is clear that it is very
important how circuits are cascaded. It can be concluded from this that when two circuits are
cascaded in series, they each must have a common reference. Furthermore, when the circuits
are interconnected, their commons need to be connected together.

Has the problem been solved SATISFACTORILY? If so, present the solution; if not,
then return to ALTERNATIVE solutions and continue through the process again.
This problem has been solved satisfactorily and the results will be presented to the boss..
Problem 18.11 Using two circuits identical to the one in problem 18.3, connect them in
parallel so that the outputs and inputs are connected as shown in the following figure.
Now, calculate the y parameters for this circuit. Our work is made easier if we reduce the
circuit through circuit reduction techniques. Since all of the resistors have the same
value, we can treat them as if they are in parallel with each other. This gives the
following equivalent circuit.

Problem 18.12 Using the circuit in Problem 18.3, connect two of them in parallel so that the
top of one is directly connected to the bottom of the other as shown in the following circuit.
Calculate the y parameters for this circuit.
Our job will be easier if we first reduce the circuit using circuit reduction techniques. It
is immediately clear that the input is directly connected to the output by two shorts. This
produces the circuit below.
This produces a set of y parameters equal to [y] = S

. This makes
sense since the short circuit conditions with ideal voltage sources creates infinite currents.
Problem 18.13 Using the circuit from Problem 18.3, determine the proper manner of
connecting two of these circuits in parallel. Our textbooks tell us that if we connect circuits
together in parallel, their y matrices add. Thus,
[y] = [y

Clearly the first attempt at combining two circuits in parallel (Problem 18.11) produces
the above results. Again, it does make a difference how circuits are cascaded. In this case, both
circuits must have a common and those commons are to be joined together in order for the
cascaded circuit to work.
