Problem 2.

20 A 300- lossless air transmission line is connected to a complex

load composed of a resistor in series with an inductor, as shown in Fig. P2.20. At
5 MHz, determine: (a) , (b) S, (c) location of voltage maximum nearest to the load,
and (d) location of current maximum nearest to the load.

R = 600
Z0 = 300
L = 0.02 mH

Solution:
(a)
ZL = R + j L

(d) The locations of current maxima correspond to voltage minima and vice versa.
Hence, the location of current maximum nearest the load is the same as location of
voltage minimum nearest the load. Thus

lmin = lmax + ,
lmax < = 15 m

= 2.46 + 15 = 17.46 m.

Problem 2.30 Show that at the position where the magnitude of the voltage on the
line is a maximum, the input impedance is purely real.
Solution: From Eq. (2.70), dmax = (r + 2n )/2 , so from Eq. (2.61), using polar
representation for ,

Smith Chart 1
Starting at point A, namely at the load, we normalize ZL with respect to Z02 :
zL =

75 j50
ZL
=
= 1.5 j1.
Z02
50

(point A on Smith chart 1)

From point A on the Smith chart, we move on the SWR circle a distance of 5 /8 to
point Br , which is just to the right of point B (see figure). At Br , the normalized input
impedance of line 2 is:
zin2 = 0.48 j0.36

(point Br on Smith chart)

Next, we unnormalize zin2 :

Zin2 = Z02 zin2 = 50 (0.48 j0.36) = (24 j18) .

Smith Chart 2
To move along line 1, we need to normalize with respect to Z01 . We shall call this zL1 :
zL1 =

Zin2 24 j18
=
= 0.24 j0.18
Z01
100

(point B on Smith chart 2)

After drawing the SWR circle through point B , we move 3 /8 towards the generator,
ending up at point C on Smith chart 2. The normalized input impedance of line 1 is:
zin = 0.66 j1.25
which upon unnormalizing becomes:
Zin = (66 j125) .

Problem 2.53 A lossless 50- transmission line is terminated in a load with

ZL = (50 + j25) . Use the Smith chart to find the following:
(a) The reflection coefficient .
(b) The standing-wave ratio.
(c) The input impedance at 0.35 from the load.
(d) The input admittance at 0.35 from the load.
(e) The shortest line length for which the input impedance is purely resistive.
(f) The position of the first voltage maximum from the load.

Figure P2.53: Solution of Problem 2.53.

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.53. The normalized impedance
zL =

(50 + j25)
= 1 + j0.5
50

is at point Z-LOAD.

(a) = 0.24e j76.0 The angle of the reflection coefficient is read of that scale at
the point r .
(b) At the point SW R: S = 1.64.
(c) Zin is 0.350 from the load, which is at 0.144 on the wavelengths to generator
scale. So point Z-IN is at 0.144 + 0.350 = 0.494 on the WTG scale. At point
Z-IN:
Zin = zin Z0 = (0.61 j0.022) 50 = (30.5 j1.09) .

(d) At the point on the SWR circle opposite Z-IN,

Yin =

yin (1.64 + j0.06)

=
= (32.7 + j1.17) mS.
Z0
50

(e) Traveling from the point Z-LOAD in the direction of the generator (clockwise),
the SWR circle crosses the xL = 0 line first at the point SWR. To travel from
Z-LOAD to SWR one must travel 0.250 0.144 = 0.106 . (Readings are on the
wavelengths to generator scale.) So the shortest line length would be 0.106 .
(f) The voltage max occurs at point SWR. From the previous part, this occurs at
z = 0.106 .

Problem 2.68 A 50- lossless line is to be matched to an antenna with

ZL = (75 j20) using a shorted stub. Use the Smith chart to determine the stub
length and distance between the antenna and stub.

and is located at point Z-LOAD in both figures. Since it is advantageous to work in
admittance coordinates, yL is plotted as point Y -LOAD in both figures. Y -LOAD is at
0.041 on the WTG scale.

For the first solution in Fig. P2.68(a), point Y -LOAD-IN-1 represents the point
at which g = 1 on the SWR circle of the load. Y -LOAD-IN-1 is at 0.145 on the
WTG scale, so the stub should be located at 0.145 0.041 = 0.104 from the
load (or some multiple of a half wavelength further). At Y -LOAD-IN-1, b = 0.52,
so a stub with an input admittance of ystub = 0 j0.52 is required. This point is
Y -STUB-IN-1 and is at 0.423 on the WTG scale. The short circuit admittance
is denoted by point Y -SHT, located at 0.250 . Therefore, the short stub must be
0.423 0.250 = 0.173 long (or some multiple of a half wavelength longer).

Figure P2.68: (b) Second solution to Problem 2.68.

For the second solution in Fig. P2.68(b), point Y -LOAD-IN-2 represents the point
at which g = 1 on the SWR circle of the load. Y -LOAD-IN-2 is at 0.355 on the
WTG scale, so the stub should be located at 0.355 0.041 = 0.314 from the

load (or some multiple of a half wavelength further). At Y -LOAD-IN-2, b = 0.52,

so a stub with an input admittance of ystub = 0 + j0.52 is required. This point is
Y -STUB-IN-2 and is at 0.077 on the WTG scale. The short circuit admittance
is denoted by point Y -SHT, located at 0.250 . Therefore, the short stub must be
0.077 0.250 + 0.500 = 0.327 long (or some multiple of a half wavelength
longer).

Problem 2.74 A 25- antenna is connected to a 75- lossless transmission

line. Reflections back toward the generator can be eliminated by placing a shunt
impedance Z at a distance l from the load (Fig. P2.74). Determine the values of Z

The normalized load impedance is:

zL =

25
= 0.33
75

(point A on Smith chart)

The Smith chart shows A and the SWR circle. The goal is to have an equivalent
impedance of 75 to the left of B. That equivalent impedance is the parallel
combination of Zin at B (to the right of the shunt impedance Z) and the shunt
element Z. Since we need for this to be purely real, its best to choose l such that
Zin is purely real, thereby choosing Z to be simply a resistor. Adding two resistors in
parallel generates a sum smaller in magnitude than either one of them. So we need
for Zin to be larger than Z0 , not smaller. On the Smith chart, that point is B, at a
distance l = /4 from the load. At that point:
zin = 3,
which corresponds to
yin = 0.33.
Hence, we need y, the normalized admittance corresponding to the shunt
impedance Z, to have a value that satisfies:
yin + y = 1
y = 1 yin = 1 0.33 = 0.66

z= =

Z = 75 1.5 = 112.5 .
