Example 1
A transistor has an input impedance of ZL = 25 this needs to be matched to a
50 microstrip line at f = 500 MHZ by using a quarter-wave parallel-plate impedance
transformer Find the length, width and Zline (which also equals the characteristic
impedance of the parallel-plate line) The thickness of the dielectric is 1mm and
relative dielectric constant of the material is 4. Use formulation for inductance/m as
l/w and capacitance/m as l/d. Ignore R and G.

Wave is emerging from the source end of the line, traveling down the line,
and then being absorbed by the matched load it is known as dispersionfree transmission
In practical situation, there is always frequency dependence on phase
velocity dispersion happens signal distortion takes place This
property can be used in the design of dual-band/multi-band circuits!!

Q: How much power flows along a transmission line, and where does that
power go?
A: We can answer that question by determining the power absorbed by the
load!

Example 2
The following two-step procedure has been carried out with a 50 coaxial
slotted line to determine an unknown load impedance:
= 0.2,
2.2,
4.2
Indraprastha Institute of
Information Technology Delhi
ECE321/521
Example 2 (contd.)
2. The short circuit is removed
and replaced with the unknown
load. The standing wave ratio is
measured as SWR = 1.5, and
voltage minima, which are not
as sharply defined as those in
step 1, are recorded at:
= 0.72,
2.72,
4.72
Indraprastha Institute of
Information Technology Delhi
ECE321/521
Example 2 (contd.)
Knowing that voltage minima repeat every /2, we have from the data of
step 1 that = 4.0 cm.
In addition, because the reflection coefficient and input impedance also
repeat every /2, we can consider the load terminals to be effectively
located at any of the voltage minima locations listed in step 1.
Thus, if we say the load is at 4.2, then the data from step 2 show that
the next voltage minimum away from the load occurs at 2.72.
It gives:
= 4.2 2.72 = 1.48 = 0.37

Thus, maximizing the power delivered to a load (Pabs), from a source, has
two components:
1. Maximize the power available (Pavl) from a source (e.g., minimize ).
2. Extract all of this available power by setting the input impedance
to a value = (thus = ).
