How does a network transform one impedance to another?
  • It produces transconductance to cancel the reactive part of an impedance
  • It introduces negative resistance to cancel the resistive part of an impedance
  • Correct Answer
    It cancels the reactive part of an impedance and changes the resistive part
  • Network resistances substitute for load resistances
