16.9 CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE AND PROPAGATION CONSTANT OF SYMMETRIC T AND PI NETWORKS UNDER SINUSOIDAL STEADY-STATE
Symmetric reactive T- and Π-networks are used in designing passive filters. This section discusses the characteristic impedance and propagation constant of T- and Π-networks to set the background for the discussion on passive filters in the subsequent sections.
The standard T- and Π-networks employing the same underlying phasor impedances Z1 and Z2 are shown in Fig. 16.9-1(a) and (b).
Consider the T-network first. Let ZoT be the characteristic impedance of the T-network.
Let γ be the propagation constant of T-network. We expect ...
