Two Port Network Transistor Configuration Conversions (h-Parameter Conversions) - Eddie W. Shore - 03-22-2019 01:17 PM
Introduction
The program TRCONV converts h-parameter matrices for the following configurations of two-port networks:
* Common Base Transistor Configuration (CB)
* Common Emitter Transistor Configuration (CE)
* Common Collector Transistor Configuration (CC)
The h-parameter matrix, also known as a hybrid parameter, is a 2 x 2 matrix representation of a two port network.
H = [ [ h11, h12 ] , [ h21, h22 ] ] where:
[ [ V1 ], [ I2 ] ] = = [ [ h11, h12 ] , [ h21, h22 ] ] * [ [ I1 ], [ V2 ] ]
The h-parameter matrix takes into account the short circuit condition (h11, h22) and the open circuit condition (h12, h21) in the two port network.
The dimensions of the entries are:
h11: input impedance, in ohms (Ω)
h12: reverse voltage gain, dimensionless
h21: forward current gain, dimensionless
h22: output admittance, in seimens or mhos (1/Ω)
The resulting matrix from TRCONV is known as a y-parameter matrix.

Thanks Eddie.
But I believe h-parameters and y-parameters are only of academic interest now. It is either SPICE models or S-parameters.
(People into noise calculations might still use y-parameters, so I may be off-base here)

Good to know Keith, thank you.
