INTERCONNECTION OF NETWORKS
A large, complex network may be divided into subnetworks for the purposes
of analysis and design.
Although the interconnected network can be described by any of the six parameter
sets, a certain set of parameters may have a definite advantage.
For example, when the networks are in series, their individual z parameters add up to
give the z parameters of the larger network.
When they are in parallel, their individual y parameters add up to give the y
parameters the larger network.
When they are cascaded, their individual transmission parameters can be multiplied
together to get the transmission parameters of the larger network
Types of Interconnection
1. Series :
Input/output port current of two-port networks are same.
2. Parallel :
Input/output port voltage of two-port networks are same.
3.Cascaded :
First two-port network drives the second two-port network
and so on.
Series Connection
Consider the series connection of two two-port networks shown in Fig. 18.39.
The networks are regarded as being in series because their input currents are
the same and their voltages add. In addition, each network has a common
reference, and when the circuits are placed in series, the common reference
points of each circuit are connected together.
For network Na
Vs = 5×I1 + V1 V2 = 40×I 2
V1 Vs 5×I1 V2

V1 = (70+j25)I1 +70I 2
V2 = 70I1 +(70-j10)I 2

showing that the y parameters of the overall network are the sum of the y
parameters of the individual networks. The result can be extended to n two-port
networks in parallel
The first two-port Network satisfy the
symmetrical property.
