A port:
 Consider Linear, lumped and time-invariant elements
 All 1-port and 2-port devices contain no internal independent sources
 All initial conditions are zero
Representation of one-port network

Y= 1/Z

Passive or Active network

Representation of two-port network

V=ZI
Z is called the impedance of the one port

I= YV
Y is the admittance of the one port
Circuit Components
• Basic Building Blocks
• Secondary Building Blocks

Resistors
• V=RI
• I=GV
• G=1/R
Capacitors
• I=sCV
• I = (1/sC) I
Inductors

• V=sLI
• I = (1/sL) V
Operational Amplifiers
3-port device

• 𝑍𝑖𝑛 = ∞
• 𝐼1 = 𝐼2 = 0
• 𝑍𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 0
• 𝑉𝑜 = 𝐴 𝑉2 − 𝑉2 with A → ∞
 The basic building blocks are ideal elements (not real)
 Electrical performance of a real physical element can
Modeled by a combination of ideal elements
