Objective :To understand the Hybrid Equivalent model of Transistor.Hello! Students I hope now you are well versed with theconcepts of transistor re-model and the different configurationthat we have studied in the last lectures. Now in today’s class weare going to discuss the hybrid-model for the various configura-tion.To analyze the behavior of transistor amplifier with the help ofβ and the values of resistances used in the circuit, is not soaccurate. It is because the input and output circuits of theamplifier are considered to be completely independent andsome of the effects are ignored such as IC is taken as constantbut actually its value depends upon load resistance.Therefore, more accurate method to analyze a transistoramplifier is hybrid parameters (h- parameters) method, we canstudy h-parameter at low frequency and at high frequency. Sothis chapter first introduces h- parameter at low frequency and athigh frequency. So this chapter first introduces h – parameter atlow frequency and after that hybrid-π model (for high fre-quency).
Hybrid Parameters (For Low Frequency)The four * parameters which are used to analyze any linearcircuit having input and output terminals are called hybrid orh-parameters.Meaning of hybrid is ‘mixed’. Since these parameters havemixed dimensions, they are called hybrid-parameters.
Determination of h-parameters
Consider a linear circuit having two input and two outputterminals (See Fig. 2.29). Their input and output voltage andcurrents are labeled with their positive directions. The conven-tions used are the standard one which may not correspond tothe actual directions. However, while analyzing the circuit, if anydirection is opposite that may be considered as negative.
LINEAR CIRCUIT
Fig. 2.29In Fig. 4.1, the voltages and currents can be related by thefollowing set of equations: v1= h11 i1 + h12 v2.…(i) i2= h21 i1 + h22 v2.…(ii)Where h11, h21, h12 and h22 are fixed constants and are known ashybrid-parameters. These parameters relate the four variables i.e.i1, i2, v1 and v2 by the above-said two equations.
If we look at the equation. (i), it is clear that h11 has the dimen-sion of ohm whereas h12 , has no dimension. Similarly, if welook at the eqn.. (ii), h2l has no dimension but h 22, has thedimension of mho. Hence, the four parameters are named ashybrid (having mixed dimensions) parameters.These parameters can be determined very easily as explainedbelow:(i) Short-circuit the output terminals, as shown in Fig. 2.30(a),
the output voltage reduces to zero i.e. v2, = 0. Substitutingthis value in eqns. (i) and (ii). we get
v1 = h11 + h12 × 0

and t2 = h21 i1 + h22 × 0

Here, h11 is called input impedance (i.e. v1 / ii ) with outputshorted and h 2l is called current gain (i.e. i2 ./ i1) with outputshorted.(ii) Open circuit the input terminals, as shown in Fig. 2.30b, the
input current reduces to zero i.e. i1 = 0. Substituting thisvalue in eqns. (i) and (ii), we get,
v1 = h 11 × 0 + h 12 v2
or h12 = 2

Here, h12 is called voltage feedback ratio (i.e. v1/v2) with inputterminals open and h 2 is called output admittance (i.e.i2 / v2)with input terminal open.

YHybrid-Parameter Equivalent Circuit
Fig. 2.31 &2.32A two port linear circuit is shown in Fig. 2.31. The voltages andcurrents of the circuit can be expressed in terms of h-parametersby the expressions;
V1= h11 i1 + h12 v2
...(i)
i,2 = h21 i1 + h22 v2
...(ii)
The h-parameters’ equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 2.32. Theinput circuit (or port) is derived from the exp. (i). Here, inputimpedance (resistor) h is connected in series with a voltagegenerator h12 v2. The output circuit (or port) is derived from exp.(ii) it involves current generator h 2l v2. and shunt resistor h 22.Example.1 Determine the h-parameters of the circuitshown in Fig. 2.33.
Fig. 2.33 & 2.34Solution. To determine h- parameters of the circuit proceed asfollows:(i) Short-circuit the output terminals as shown in fig 2.34 can
determine h11 and h21.
Since 10 Ω resistor is short circuited h11 = 2 ΩNow, current i1 flows into the box and the same current flowsout of the box. ∴ i2 = i1.
And h21 = 11

reaches across the input terminals. ∴ v1 = v2

H- Parameters of a TransistorA transistor in a three–terminal device. If any one of theterminals is made common to the input and output, it willhave two ports. Thus it will have two input terminals and twooutput terminals (See Fig.2.40), for a small ac signal transistorbehave as a linear device, hence it can be described in terms of h-parameters.The voltages and currents of the circuit can be related by thefollowing sets of equations:

transistor connection (i.e. CE, CB or CC). Therefore. h-
parameters for different connections are abbreviated indifferent way. For instance, h11 is represented as **h ie, h ib andh ic for CE, CB and CC connections.
