Two-port network

A two-port network is like a special box that takes some electrical signals in from one side and spits out some different electrical signals on the other side. Think of it like a toy box with two holes: one for putting in toys and another for taking them out.

But instead of toys, we're talking about electrical signals. These signals can be things like voltage, current or power that flow in a circuit. The two sides of the box are called the input port and output port.

Now, imagine there are some rules or laws that govern how this box works. Just like how we can't put a toy that's too big in the toy box or it won't fit, there are specific ways that input electrical signals can interact with output electrical signals in a two-port network.

These rules differ depending on the specific type of two-port network. Some two-port networks might amplify signals, meaning they make them stronger. Others might only let certain frequencies of signals pass through, like a filter.

Overall, a two-port network is a really useful tool for understanding how electrical signals move and interact in a circuit. By analyzing how signals change as they pass through a two-port network, we can learn a lot about how a circuit functions as a whole.
