  • Abstract
    In this paper, bounds on the number of port terminals for families of equivalent n -port networks are discussed. Classes of n -ports, for which no equivalents with less than 2n-1 terminals exist, are demonstrated. It is shown that upper bounds (less than 2n ) on the number of terminals also exist. These may not exceed, in certain cases, even the minimum number of n + 1 terminals. Finally, some incomplete results on related problems are presented.
