The Jacob Shekel circuit analysis method - Need help from The Electrician!

I was reviewing the method of circuit analysis that The Electrician sent me some files about a while back, using admittance matricies. Unfortunately, I'm somewhat confused about how the admittance matricies for the transistors in a circuit were developed - if The Electrician is around, could you walk me through how the matricies for the transistors were derived in the following: http://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11648&d=1250840496

I have a PDF specifically on the topic that you sent me, but unfortunately some of the figures in it are hard to read from the scan and I'm having a difficult time translating the matricies given in the document into the ones you derived, regardless.

Thanks in advance.

Well, here you have matrix for CE amplifier

\(Y = \left[ \begin{array}{2}\frac{1}{h11} & \frac{-h12}{h11}\\ \frac{h21}{h11} & \frac{h11*h22-h12*h21}{h11}\end{array}\right]\)

And
H11 = (β+1)*re
H21 = β
H22 = ro
H12 = ?? I don't know

And if emitter in not grounded the re need to be add.

So
1/H11 = 1/(β+1)*re

H21/H11 = β/(β+1)*re
And so on.

Thank you! To use this method it looks like I need to know the h parameters of a transistor in its various configurations - common emitter, common base, etc. Is there somewhere I can find such a list?

You can just do what I mentioned in the first image above, where I say:

"Now that we have an indefinite matrix, we can get the definite matrix for the circuit with a different node grounded. Just delete the row and column corresponding to the node to be grounded"

So, you can start with, for example, the definite matrix of a common emitter configuration, convert it to an indefinite matrix and then delete the node corresponding to the base and you will have a 2x2 definite matrix for a common base configuration.
