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.
