Impedance parameters or Z-parameters (the elements of an impedance matrix or Z-matrix) are properties used in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and communication systems engineering to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks.
A surge of energy on a finite transmission line will see an impedance of prior to any reflections returning; hence surge impedance is an alternative name for characteristic impedance. Although an infinite line is assumed, since all quantities are per unit length, the “per length” parts of all the units cancel, and the characteristic ...
In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it.

where Y is an N × N matrix the elements of which can be indexed using conventional matrix notation. In general the elements of the Y-parameter matrix are complex numbers and functions of frequency. For a one-port network, the Y-matrix reduces to a single element, being the ordinary admittance measured between the two terminals.
Heaviside probably chose Y simply because it is next to Z in the alphabet, the conventional symbol for impedance. [2] Admittance Y, measured in siemens, is defined as the inverse of impedance Z, measured in ohms: Resistance is a measure of the opposition of a circuit to the flow of a steady current, while impedance takes into account not only ...
L networks for narrowband matching a source or load impedance Z to a transmission line with characteristic impedance Z 0. X and B may each be either positive (inductor) or negative (capacitor). If Z/Z 0 is inside the 1+jx circle on the Smith chart (i.e. if Re(Z/Z 0)>1), network (a) can be used; otherwise network (b) can be used. [2]
In electrical engineering, susceptance (B) is the imaginary part of admittance (Y = G + jB), where the real part is conductance (G). The reciprocal of admittance is impedance (Z = R + jX), where the imaginary part is reactance (X) and the real part is resistance (R). In SI units, susceptance is measured in siemens (S).
Iterative impedance of a simple generic L-circuit. A simple generic L-circuit is shown in the diagram consisting of a series impedance Z and a shunt admittance Y.The iterative impedance of this network, Z IT, in terms of its output load (also Z IT) is given by, [4] [5] [6] [7]
