Electrical – How to find new ABCD parameters when reversing 2-port network

circuit analysispassive-networksRF

I have an ABCD matrix represenataion which is defined as:

question

For such a problem, what approach should I follow in order to organize the new ( reversed) network ports voltages and currents properly. I have tried to keep the currents of ports same and making voltages switching places but this did not make any sense in the substituted-general form calculations.

No full solutions to homeworks, only guidance!

The new matrix is in math called the inverse matrix of the original. You can find it by solving V1, I1 from the equations which the matrix present. In numerical cases one can use software. For ex. Excel can find the inverses of numerical matrices. Complex numbers are accepted. But your case is not numerical because A,B,C,D are variables.

The inverse does not always exist. That's the case when several inputs can cause the same output.

The inverse of a 2x2 matrix is so simple and often used that many people remember the inversion result as a general formula. It's shown also here:

If you compare the general inversion formula and what the inversion should be in your case, you can decide what A,B,C,D values are possible. There of course are several possible circuits which fullfill the resulted equation, but the simplest possible do not need many lines to draw.
