Hybrid h-parameter model for an amplifier The equivalent circuit of a transistor can be dram using simple approximation by retaining its essential features. These equivalent circuits will aid in analyzing transistor circuits easily and rapidly. A transistor can be treated as a two part network. The terminal behavior of any two part network can be specified by the terminal voltages V 1 & V 2 at parts 1 & 2 respectively and current i 1 and i 2, entering parts 1 & 2, respectively, as shown in figure.
Two Port Network
Of these four variables V 1, V 2, i 1 and i 2, two can be selected as independent variables and the remaining two can be expressed in terms of these independent variables. This leads to various two part parameters out of which the following three are more important.
Hybrid Parameters or h-parameters If the input current i 1 and output Voltage V 2 are takes as independent variables, the input voltage V 1 and output current i 2 can be written as V 1 = h 11 i 1 + h 12 V 2 i 2 = h 21 i 1 + h 22 V 2 The four hybrid parameters h 11, h 12, h 21 and h 22 are defined as follows. h 11 = [V 1 / i 1 ] with V 2 = 0 = Input Impedance with output part short circuited.
h 22 = [i 2 / V 2 ] with i 1 = 0 = Output admittance with input part open circuited. h 12 = [V 1 / V 2 ] with i 1 = 0 = reverse voltage transfer ratio with input part open circuited. h 21 = [i 2 / i 1 ] with V 2 = 0 = Forward current gain with output part short circuited.
The dimensions of h parameters are as follows: h 11 - Ω h 22 mhos h12, h21 dimension less. as the dimensions are not alike, (i.e) they are hybrid in nature, and these parameters are called as hybrid parameters.
The Hybrid Model for Two-port Network:- V 1 = h 11 i 1 + h 12 V 2 I 2 = h 1 i 1 + h 22 V 2 V 1 = h 1 i 1 + h r V 2 I 2 = h f i 1 + h 0 V 2

Transistor Hybrid Model Use of h parameters to describe a transistor have the following advantages: h parameters are real numbers up to radio frequencies. They are easy to measure They can be determined from the transistor static characteristics curves. They are convenient to use in circuit analysis and design. Easily convert able from one configuration to other. Readily supplied by manufactories.
Transistor Hybrid Model CE Configuration In common emitter transistor configuration, the input signal is applied between the base and emitter terminals of the transistor and output appears between the collector and emitter terminals.

SMALL-SIGNAL LOW-FREQUENCY OPERATION OF TRANSISTORS Hybrid Parameters and Two-Port Network For the hybrid equivalent model to be described, the parameters are defined at an operating point that may or may not give an actual picture of the operating condition of the amplifier. The quantities h ie, h re, h fe and h oe are called the hybrid parameters and are the components of a small-signal equivalent circuit. The description of the hybrid equivalent model begins with the general two-port system. Two-port system representation (Black model realisation)
EQUIVALENT CIRCUITS THROUGH HYBRID PARAMETERS AS A TWO-PORT NETWORK For the transistor, even though it has three basic configurations, they are all fourterminal configurations, and thus, the resulting equivalent circuit will have the same format. The h-parameter will however change with each configuration. To distinguish which parameter has been used or which is available, a second subscript has been added to the h-parameter notation.
