Fig. 2 A π-section is a network that generates a known loss when it is located between two matched impedances Z1 and Z2.  
Z1 represents the source impedance and Z2 the load impedance. The loss is regarded as the ratio of powers and is 
independent on direction. In the TRINITY PREAMP, Z1=Z2=600 Ohms.
