In analyzing two-port networks, the discussion centers on the appropriate use of impedance when calculating image impedances. The initial assertion is that the conjugate of the generator impedance (Zg) should be used alongside the load impedance (Zl) for accurate results. However, a conflicting viewpoint suggests that the normal complex value of Zg should be applied instead. The debate highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between source, load, and image impedances in network analysis. Clarifying which method is correct is essential for accurate calculations in two-port network theory.

Homework Statement


If we have a two-port network, a source with impedance Zs and a load with impedance Zl, I think that the conjugate of Zg and Zl (normal, not conjugated) should be equal to the image impedances of the network.

The problem is that I was told that instead of the conjugate of Zg the normal complex number Zg should be used.

Which is the correct method?

I think that the conjugate of Zg should be used since the image impedances are also conjugates of the source and load impedances.
