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 greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“It used to be said that, socially speaking, Philadelphia asked who a person is, New York how much is he worth, and Boston what does he know. Nationally it has now become generally recognized that Boston Society has long cared even more than Philadelphia about the first point and has refined the asking of who a person is to the point of demanding to know who he was. Philadelphia asks about a man’s parents; Boston wants to know about his grandparents.”
—Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)
