When dealing with n-port parameters it may be necessary or convenient to convert them into other matrix representations used in electrical engineering. The following matrices and notations are used in the transformation equations.

During S-parameter usage it sometimes appears to have not all components in a circuit normalized to the same impedance. But calculations can only be performed with all ports being normalized to the same impedance. In the field of high frequency techniques this is usually . In order to transform to different port impedances, the following computation must be applied to the resulting S-parameter matrix.

There are five different matrix forms for the correlations between the quantities at the transmission twoport shown in fig. 15.1, each having its special meaning when connecting twoports with each other.

Basically there are five different kinds of twoport connections. Using the corresponding twoport matrix representations, complicated networks can be analysed by connecting elementary twoports. The linear correlations between the complex currents and voltages rms values of a twoport are described by four complex twoport parameters (i.e. the twoport matrix). These parameters are used to describe the AC behaviour of the twoport.

Sometimes it may be useful to have a twoport matrix representation based on signal waves in a representation based on voltage and current and the other way around. There are two more parameters involved in this case: The reference impedance at port 1 (denoted as ) and the reference impedance at port 2 (denoted as ).

Basically the twoport parameters of passive twoports can be determined using Kirchhoff's voltage law and Kirchhoff's current law or by applying the definition equations of the twoport parameters. This has been done [60] for some example circuits.
