y-parameters FET Model - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Post subject: y-parameters FET Model Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2005 7:37 pm

I'm working on a FET model with three external nodes as opposed to two nodes. So, there are three ports. I'm using matrix reduction technique to get the 3-port y-param, meaning I label all the nodes in the model circuit and write down their respective y-params, then doing matrix reduction to get a 3x3 matrix from an 8x8 matrix because the model has 8 nodes. Anyway, I can't seem to recall what y-param is for a current source. I'm not a professional working in an industry so I'm not exactly sure where to look for a reference. I've tried several books and google but haven't been successful. Anyone has an idea about my problem. Namely, let's say from node 1 there is a current source and an inductor connecting to node 2, like this:

NODE1---CURRENT_SOURCE---INDUCTOR---NODE2

What would be the 2x2 y-param for this?

Thanks
