ABCD Parameters

• Transmission Line can be modeled as two port

network with one port as sending end and other as
receiving end.
Receiving end Open
Receiving end Short
Characteristic Impedance
 Cascade Connection
• Transmission Lines are connected in cascade to increase the effective length of the
line.
Cascade Connection
 Parallel Connection
• Transmission Lines are connected in
parallel because of following reasons
• To increase current rating of the
system
• To increase maximum power
rating of the system
• To increase reliability
• To reduce voltage drop
• To reduce losses and increase
efficiency
Parallel Connection
 Important Parameters
• Voltage Regulation

• Line charging Current
