AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating various impedances in a three-loop circuit using mesh analysis. The user is seeking help with finding Z_{input1}, Z_{transfer12}, and Z_{transfer13} based on given resistor and reactive component values. They correctly identify Z_{input1} as the ratio of the voltage to the mesh current I_1. The impedance matrix (Z matrix) is emphasized, with the diagonal elements representing driving point impedances and the off-diagonal elements representing transfer impedances. Clarification on setting up and solving the Z matrix is requested to complete the analysis.

Homework Statement


Hello,
I have encountered some sort of notation that I am not familiar with in regards to impedance. As an example, I have depicted a network here
hehe.jpg

The top loop is considered loop 1, the bottom-left loop is considered loop 2, while the bottom-right loop is loop 3.
R_2=5, R_3=10, R_1 2, C_1=C-2=-j4, L_1=j5, V=50e^{j0}
Using mesh currents I_1, I_2, I_3 in clock-wise direction, find Z_{input1}, Z_{transfer12}, Z_{transfer13}
I cannot seem to find anything in my notes regarding this... Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

I believe
Z_{input1}=\frac{50e^{j0}}{I_1}
However, the "transfer12" and "transfer13" impedances are not making any sense to me.
 
They want you to set up the impedance matrix (Z matrix) for the circuit. Since there are 3 loops, the matrix will be a 3x3 matrix.

The elements on the main diagonal, the Z(n,n) with n = 1 to 3, are the driving point impedances. The off diagonal elements are the transfer impedances.

Zinput1 will be the 1,1 element of the Z matrix. Ztransfer12 will be the 1,2 element, etc.
