One-port networks for analog signal processing

Aim

§  Review properties and the signal processing functions of linear

passive and active one-port and two-port networks

4

Network Elements

�  Passive network elements are not capable of power amplification

�  Active network elements can provide power amplification

5

One-port Network Elements

One-port passive network elements •  resistors •  capacitors •  inductors •  diodes (nonlinear)

One-port active network elements •  Negative resistance •  Independent current and voltage sources

6

Two-port Network Elements

�  Two-port passive network elements ◦  Transformers ◦  Gyrators

�  Two-port active network elements ◦  Controlled voltage sources ◦  Controlled current sources ◦  Comparators (nonlinear) ◦  Controlled switches (nonlinear) ◦  Multipliers (nonlinear)

Networks

�  one-port passive networks are interconnections of R, L, C and diodes

�  one-port active networks are interconnections of –R and R, L, C or diodes

�  two-port passive networks are interconnections of R, L, C, transformers and diodes

�  two-port active networks are interconnections of R, L, C, transformers, gyrators, diodes, independent voltage and current sources, controlled voltage and current sources and multipliers.

Linear one-port network

�  has two terminals �  only one independent source

should be connected between the terminals

9

Linear One-port Network Characteristics

�  Immittance (admittance/ impedance) between its two terminals

�  Admittance between the two terminals

G(ω) > 0 ω Y(jω)G(ω) 0 ω, Y(jω) ≤

If for all then represents a stable networkIf for any then represents an unstable network

Y(jω)=G(ω)+ jB(ω)

Resistor

�  v is voltage across the resistor in volts �  i is the current through the resistor in amps �  R the resistance in Ohms (W) of the resistor �  G is the conductance of the element in Siemens (S) �  One of the variables (voltage and current) can be considered as

independent variable, while the other one becomes dependent variable.

v=Ri i =Gvand

12

v-i relationship of Resistor

�  If ‘i’ is considered as the independent variable

v=Ri

v-i relationship of Resistor (contd.,)

�  If ‘v’ is considered as the independent variable

14

Resistor (conductor)

�  Performs the analog signal processing function of multiplying a variable by a constant

�  Used extensively in realizing attenuation and data conversion operations

�  is the charge Q in Coulombs stored in the capacitor

�  A capacitor can perform integration of a variable and its inverse

function of differentiating a variable.

�  Energy is stored in a capacitor as charge in electrostatic form and is

given by 0.5CV2.

18

Diode (Controlled Switch)

�  Current i is the independent variable in the forward direction (i > 0; v=0)

�  Voltage is the independent variable when the diode is reverse biased (v < 0; i=0)

19

Negative Resistance

�  If ‘i’ is considered as the independent variable

v= -Ri

20

Negative Resistance (contd.,)

�  If v is considered as the independent variable

i=-Gv

21

Negative Resistance (contd.,)

�  v is voltage across the resistor in volts �  i is the current in amps through the resistor �  R the resistance in Ohms (W) �  G is the conductance in Siemens (S) �  A negative resistor (conductor) can multiply a variable by a negative

constant, and is used for loss compensation, amplification and oscillation

22

Signal Processing Functions of

One-port Networks

23

Signal processing

�  If voltage is the dependent variable current becomes independent

variable and vice-versa in one-port networks

�  Different relationships between independent variable and

dependent variable can be created using different combinations of

network elements

24

Nature of one-port networks

�  A voltage source should not be shorted

�  A current source should not be opened

25

Conversion of variable (v to i and i to v)

�  A resistor (R) converts a current into a voltage as long as its value does not go to infinity (open circuit).

�  A conductor (G) converts a voltage into current as long as its value is not infinity (short circuit).

26

Attenuation

�  If the voltage and current sources have finite source resistances

�  This is equivalent to multiplying the independent variable by a constant less than one
