Hybrid connected network

expand all in page

Description

Use the rfckt.hybrid object to create hybrid connected networks of linear RF objects characterized by the components that make up the network.

Note

circuit object and add function is recommended over rfckt.hybrid because the add function enables you to insert linear and nonlinear elements into a circuit object to create networks of any topology which includes a hybrid, an inverse hybrid, a parallel, and a series connected network. (since R2023b)

Creation

Syntax

h = rfckt.hybrid
h = rfckt.hybrid('Ckts',value)

Description

h = rfckt.hybrid returns a hybrid connected network object whose properties all have their default values.

h = rfckt.hybrid('Ckts',value) returns a cascaded network with elements specified in the name-value pair property Ckts.

Create hybrid connected networks of linear RF objects with two transmission line objects using rfckt.hybrid.

tx1 = rfckt.txline;
tx2 = rfckt.txline;
hyb = rfckt.hybrid('Ckts',{tx1,tx2})
hyb = 
   rfckt.hybrid with properties:

              Ckts: {[1x1 rfckt.txline]  [1x1 rfckt.txline]}
             nPort: 2
    AnalyzedResult: []
              Name: 'Hybrid Connected Network'

Algorithms

The analyze method computes the S-parameters of the AnalyzedResult property using the data stored in the Ckts property as follows:

  • The analyze method first calculates the h matrix of the hybrid network. It starts by converting each component network parameters to an h matrix. The following figure shows a hybrid connected network consisting of two 2-port networks, each represented by its h matrix,

    Two 2-port hybrid connected networks

    where

    [h′]=[h11′h12′h21′h22′][h″]=[h11′​′h12′​′h21′​′h22′​′]

  • The analyze method then calculates the h matrix for the hybrid network by calculating the sum of the h matrices of the individual networks. The following equation illustrates the calculations for two 2-port networks.

    [h]=[h11′+h11′​′h12′+h12′​′h21′+h21′​′h22′+h22′​′]

  • Finally, analyze converts the h matrix of the hybrid network to S-parameters at the frequencies specified in the analyze input argument freq.
