[S]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} S_{11} & S_{12} \\ S_{21} & S_{22} \end{array}\right]

with reference to Z_{0}. Two lossless transmission line sections of electrical lengths \theta_{1}=\beta l_{1} and \theta_{2}=\beta l 2 are added to the input and output ports for measurement purposes, respectively. The S-parameters \left[S^{\prime}\right] of the resultant two port network is

A

Question 1 Explanation: 
Let us evaluate S_{11} and S_{21} first at V_{2}^{+}=0

(A) S11:
\begin{aligned} V_{1}&=V_{1}^{+}+V_{1}^{-}=\left(V_{1}^{+}\right)^{\prime} e^{-j \beta l_{1}}+\left(V_{1}^{-}\right) e^{+j \beta l_{1}} \\ \therefore \quad V_{1}^{+}&=\left(V_{1}^{+}\right)^{\prime} e^{-j \beta l_{1}} \\ V_{1}^{-}&=\left(V_{1}^{-}\right) e^{+j \beta l_{1}} \\ S_{11}&=\frac{V_{1}^{-}}{V_{1}^{+}}=\frac{\left(V_{1}^{-}\right) e^{+j \beta l_{1}}}{\left(V_{1}^{+}\right)^{\prime} e^{-j \beta l_{1}}}=S_{11}^{\prime} e^{+j 2 \beta l_{1}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad S_{11}^{\prime}&=S_{11} e^{-j 2 \beta l_{1}}=S_{11} e^{-j 2 \theta_{1}} \\ \therefore \quad S_{11}^{\prime}&=S_{11} e^{-j 2 \theta_{1}} \end{aligned}

(B) S_{21} :
V_{2}=V_{2}^{+} e^{+j \beta l_{2}}+V_{2}^{-} e^{-j \beta l_{2}}=\left(V_{2}^{+}\right)^{\prime}+\left(V_{2}^{-}\right)^{\prime}
Here, V_{2}^{+}=0
Hence,
V_{2}=\left(V_{2}^{-}\right)^{\prime}=V_{2}^{-} e^{-j \beta l_{2}}
\Rightarrow \quad V_{2}^{-}=\left(V_{2}^{-}\right)^{\prime} e^{+j \beta l_{2}}

From previous discussion in S_{11},
\begin{aligned} V_{1}^{+}&=\left(V_{1}^{+}\right) e^{-j l_{1}} \\ \therefore \quad S_{21}&=\frac{V_{2}^{-}}{V_{1}^{+}}=\frac{\left(V_{2}^{-}\right)^{\prime} e^{+j \beta l_{2}}}{\left(V_{1}^{+}\right)^{\prime} e^{-j \beta l_{1}}}=S_{21}^{\prime} e^{+j\left(\beta l_{2}+\beta l_{1}\right)} \\ \Rightarrow S_{21}^{\prime}&=S_{21} e^{-j\left(\beta l_{2}+\beta l_{1}\right)} \\ \Rightarrow \quad S_{21}^{\prime}&=S_{21} e^{-j\left(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2}\right)} \end{aligned}
Question 2
The h-parameters of a two port network are shown below. The condition for the maximum small signal voltage gain \frac{V_{\text {out }}}{V_{s}} is

A
h_{11}=0, h_{12}=0, h_{21}= very high and h_{22}=0
B
h_{11}= very high, h_{12}=0, h_{21}= very high and h_{22}=0
C
h_{11}=0, h_{12}= very high, h_{21}= very high and h_{22}=0
D
h_{11}=0, h_{12}=0, h_{21}= very high and h_{22}= very high

Question 2 Explanation: 
Dependent current source should have h_{21} I_{1} instead of h_{21} V_{1} according to h-parameter.
A_{V}=\frac{V_{\text {out }}}{V_{s}}=\frac{-h_{21} I_{1} \times\left(\frac{1}{h_{22}} \| R_{L}\right)}{h_{11} I_{1}+h_{12} V_{2}}

To achieve maximum \frac{V_{\text {out }}}{V_{s}}
\begin{aligned} & h_{11}=0, \quad h_{12}=0 \\ & h_{21}=\text { Very high, } \quad h_{22}=0 \end{aligned}

Hence, answer should be (A) according to h_{21} I_{1}.


Question 3
For the two port network shown below, the [Y]-parameters is given as

[Y]=\frac{1}{100}\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2 & -1 \\ -1 & 4 / 3 \end{array}\right] S

Question 3 Explanation: 
[Y]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{2}{100} & -\frac{1}{100} \\ -\frac{1}{100} & \frac{4}{300} \end{array}\right]
For the given Y-parameter the two-port network is


Y_{11}=Y_{a}+Y_{b}=\frac{2}{100} [
Y_{12}=Y_{21}=-Y_{b}=-\frac{1}{100}
Y_{22}=Y_{b}+Y_{c}=\frac{4}{300}

On solving,
\quad Y_{b}=\frac{1}{100} S
Y_{a}=\frac{1}{100} S
Y_{c}=\frac{1}{300} S

The network becomes,

Converting \Delta - to \lambda


Z_{Th}=60+[(20+10)||60]=60+\frac{30 \times 60}{30+60}=80 \Omega

For maximum power transfer,
Z_{L}=Z_{\text {Th }}=80 \Omega

Question 4 Explanation: 


CASE-1:
I_2=0
V_{oc}=5V

CASE-2: With help of linearity
\frac{4-5}{4-0}=\frac{I_{sc}-5}{I_{sc}-0}\Rightarrow I_{sc}=20mA
R_{th}=\frac{V_{oc}}{I_{sc}}=\frac{5}{20}k=250\Omega =0.25k\Omega

CASE-3

I_2=\frac{10-5}{1.25}=4mA
