Abstract
A common practical situation occurs with a network when an input or a generator is applied across one branch of the network and the output or response across another branch has to be determined. In such a case, the network may be effectively represented by a ‘black box’ which has two input terminals (the input port) and two output terminals (the output port): this situation is illustrated in Figs 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) where, in the latter, one terminal is common, giving a three-terminal rather than a four-terminal network.
