AI Thread Summary
Mesh or loop analysis is a technique used to solve linear circuits composed of resistors, voltage, and current sources, allowing for the determination of current in various circuit parts. A 2-port network consists of these components arranged with defined input and output terminals. The behavior of these terminals can be fully described using parameters represented in a matrix format. Common parameter types for 2-port networks include Z, Y, ABCD, and hybrid parameters, which can be calculated using mesh/loop analysis. This method is essential for understanding and analyzing complex circuit behaviors.

Can someone explain this a little ? With regards to just what it is, it's not in the book I have.

mesh/loop analysis is a method of solving linear circuits which is given a bunch of resistors, voltage and current sources interconnected in some way - this technique will help you find current in various parts of the circuit.

And a 2-port network is a bunch of resistors, voltage and current sources interconnect in some way with defined 2 ports, or input/output terminals.

2-port networks can be characterized by parameters, or four numbers configured in a matrix which can completely describe the behavior of the input/output terminals.

there is many 2-port network parameters such as Z, Y, ABCD, or hybrid which can be calculated using a method like the mesh/loop analysis.

hope that helps

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
