Today we're diving into Admittance Parameters. Can anyone tell me what admittance is in an electrical context?
I think it describes how much current flows for a given voltage?
Exactly! Admittance, represented as Y, is the inverse of impedance. In two-port networks, we often express current in terms of the voltages using Y-parameters.
So, how do we define the Y-parameters mathematically?
"Good question! The Y-parameters are defined by two equations:

To determine the Y-parameters, we use short-circuit measurements. Who can explain what that means?
Does it mean we short the output port and measure the current based on the input voltage?
That's right! For instance, to find \(Y_{11}\), we set \(V_2=0\) and measure \(I_1\) with a known \(V_1\).
What about \(Y_{12}\)?
Great follow-up! We set \(V_1=0\) and measure \(I_1\) when applying voltage at \(V_2\). This pattern continues for \(Y_{21}\) and \(Y_{22}\).

Y-parameters are not just theoretical! They have real-world applications, like in amplifier design. Who can think of how they might apply in that context?
Maybe they help ensure the amplifier responds correctly to different input signals?
Spot on! Using Y-parameters can help predict how changes in input voltage will affect output current, essential for effective amplifier design.

Admittance (Y) Parameters
Admittance parameters, denoted as Y, characterize the current at the input and output ports in a two-port network based on the voltages at these ports. The fundamental equations are:
\[\begin{cases}
I_1 = Y_{11} V_1 + Y_{12} V_2 \
I_2 = Y_{21} V_1 + Y_{22} V_2
\end{cases}\]
In this formulation, the parameters are derived from short-circuit measurements:
- \(Y_{11}\) measures the input admittance when \(V_2=0\)
- \(Y_{12}\) measures the effect of \(V_2\) on the input current \(I_1\) when \(V_1=0\)
- Similarly for \(Y_{21}\) and \(Y_{22}\)
A practical example illustrates the Pi network configuration, where the Y-matrix is formed as follows:
\[\begin{bmatrix}
Y_1 + Y_3 & -Y_3 \
-Y_3 & Y_2 + Y_3
\end{bmatrix}\]
These parameters are crucial in system analysis, circuit design, and signal processing, enabling engineers to simplify complex networks into manageable equations.

\[
\begin{cases}
I_1 = Y_{11} V_1 + Y_{12} V_2 \
I_2 = Y_{21} V_1 + Y_{22} V_2
\end{cases}

Detailed Explanation
Admittance parameters (Y-parameters) describe the relationship between the input and output currents and voltages of a two-port network. In these equations, \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) represent the currents at the input and output ports, while \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) are the voltages at those ports. The coefficients \(Y_{11}\), \(Y_{12}\), \(Y_{21}\), and \(Y_{22}\) are the admittance parameters that characterize the two-port network's behavior. They indicate how much the input current and output current depend on the voltages at both ports. For example, \(Y_{11}\) relates the input current directly to the input voltage, while \(Y_{12}\) relates the input current to the output voltage.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a two-port network as a pathway for water where the input is the water flowing into one end (input port) and the output is the water flowing out the other end (output port). The admittance parameters can be likened to the 'conductivity' of different parts of this water pathway, determining how smoothly water (or current) can flow based on the 'heights' (or voltages) at either end.
Short-Circuit Measurements

Short-circuit measurements:
\[
Y_{11} = \left. \frac{I_1}{V_1} \right|{V_2=0}, \quad Y{12} = \left. \frac{I_1}{V_2} \right|{V_1=0}
\]
\[
Y{21} = \left. \frac{I_2}{V_1} \right|{V_2=0}, \quad Y{22} = \left. \frac{I_2}{V_2} \right|_{V_1=0}
\]
Detailed Explanation
Short-circuit measurements help determine the admittance parameters directly from the two-port network. To find each admittance parameter, specific conditions are applied to the output voltage to effectively 'short-circuit' it. This means that when measuring \(Y_{11}\), for example, the output voltage \(V_2\) is set to zero (like shorting it). The input current \(I_1\) is then measured concerning the input voltage \(V_1\). Similar processes are used for the other parameters, establishing how the currents at each port behave in relation to the voltages when one voltage is fixed at zero.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are measuring how fast water can flow through a pipe when you pinch it shut at one end. If you pinch one end (setting the voltage at that port to zero), you can measure the flow (current) coming in at the other end. Each measurement helps you understand how 'freely' water can flow under various conditions, analogous to measuring how the current behaves with different configurations of the circuit.

- Y-Matrix:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
Y_1 + Y_3 & -Y_3 \
-Y_3 & Y_2 + Y_3
\end{bmatrix}
\]
Detailed Explanation
The Pi Network is a specific arrangement of admittance elements, typically capacitors or inductors, structured in a 'Ο' shape. In this example, the Y-Matrix represents the relationship between the input and output currents and voltages in the network. Each element of the matrix reflects how current and voltage interact at each port under the influence of the admittance elements placed between them. For instance, \(Y_1 + Y_3\) shows the total admittance at the input, accounting for the contributions from both the input admittance and the admittance connected to ground (Y3).
Examples & Analogies
You can think of the Pi Network as a series of lanes on a highway where the capacity of traffic (current) at both entry and exit points depends on traffic lights (the admittance). The Y-Matrix tells you how much traffic can move to and from each point, considering the number of lanes and how much green light each section gets to allow traffic to flow.
