T-network (Noun)
Meaning
A circuit formed by two equal series circuits with a shunt between them.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- A T-network is a type of electric circuit where two series circuits have a shunt resistor between them for impedance matching purposes.
- The electrical engineer employed the T-network configuration in the audio amplifier design for it allows flexible adjustments to impedance levels easily.
- In electronics, a T-network typically consists of two series resistors with a shunt resistor between them allowing its use for many different applications such as voltage dividers or filter circuits.
- T-networks find applications not only in basic electronic design but they also see use in high-end impedance matching audio circuits as their configuration produces a significant reduction in high-frequency signal loss.
- T-networks could be sometimes used instead of pi or L networks depending on available components and design limitations of a specific application such as antenna circuits.
