Driving Point Impedances
As a special case, the EET can be used to find the input impedance of a network. For this application the EET can be written as:
where
- is the impedance chosen as the extra element
- is the input impedance with Z removed (or made infinite)
- is the impedance seen by the extra element Z with the input shorted (or made zero)
- is the impedance seen by the extra element Z with the input open (or made infinite)
Computing these three terms may seem like extra effort, but they are often easier to compute than the overall input impedance.

Famous quotes containing the words driving and/or point:
“The wind of their endurance, driving south,
Flattened your words against your speaking mouth.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“At this age [9–12], in contrast to adolescence, girls still want to know their parents and hear what they think. You are the influential ones if you want to be. Girls, now, want to hear your point of view and find out how you got to be what you are and what you are doing. They like their fathers and mothers to be interested in what they’re doing and planning. They like to know what you think of their thoughts.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
