APPENDIX B
Two-Port Interconnections
Once you identify each component and assign it a two-letter code,
preferably starting with "
AA" you are
then
ready to
interconnect the
two-port networks.
There are four two-port interconnection schemes; they're named
CAS,
CAX,
PAR, and
SER.
Each is shown below.
The
CAS code is shorthand for
cascade,
but, its a
special type of cascade. It's used to
interconnect
adjacent two-ports,
or,
in two
different locations in a network. These two
networks
do not have to be in
alphabetical order. A
CAS AA DD command, as shown
in the panel on the far left below, will create a new two-port named "
AA."
However, although the original
"AA" will be
lost,
the "
DD" will remain
safe
in memory.
The
CAX code is a modified version of
CAS.
It allows you to cascade
several
two-ports simultaneously. However, one caveat. they
must
be in
alphabetical order. Example: A
CAX
AA CC command will create a
new
two-port named "
AA" using "
AA," "
BB,"
and "
CC." The original "
AA" is
gone, but "
BB" and "
CC" remain
untouched.
The
PAR code stands for
parallel.
An easy way to visualize this is the addition of shunt feedback from
collector to base in an amplifier. Example: If "
KK"
is a series resistor-inductor feedback network, (an "
SRL"),
and "
LL" is a transistor, the command
PAR
KK LL will create a new two-port named "
KK."
The
SER code means
series.
Use this if you
want to add a resistor into the emitter lead of a transistor, or to add
inductance into the base lead if you're designing a CB oscillator.
Example: If "
RR" is a "
TWO," (a
two-port), and "
SS" is a parallel resistor, the
command
SER RR SS will create a new "
RR"
as shown in the sketch on the far right.
Here are sketches showing the various interconnections, what you
start
with at the top of each panel, and what you
end
with at the bottom.
