Abstract
The behaviour of networks, whether lumped, distributed, active or passive, is analysed from a fundamental travelling-wave point of view. Generalized wave parameters are derived for a 2-port network from which image, conjugate and iterative parameters follow as special cases. The relationship of these to short- and open-circuit parameters are also given.A matrix organization of waves in a multi-port network is next presented, which distinguishes between waves internal and external to the network. Through special transformations, voltage- and powergain matrices are derived and their relationship to the conventional scattering matrix is shown.Finally, a visual representation of the wave trains set up in cascaded stages is given in the form of wave flow diagrams, reminiscent of Mason's feedback graphs.
