Introduction to Transmission Lines (T.L.) n Hi frequency or hi power requires T.L. n TEM waves propagate thru T.L. n We will develop T.L. theory to see how

waves propagate thru them

Exercise 11.3 n  A 40-m long TL has Vg=15 Vrms, Zo=30+j60 Ω, and VL=5e-j48o Vrms. If the

line is matched to the load and the generator, find: the input impedance Zin, the sending-end current Iin and Voltage Vin, the propagation constant γ.

One-turn on the Smith Chart

n  One turn (360o) around the SC = to λ/2 because in the formula below, if you substitute length for half-wavelength, the phase changes by 2π, which is one turn.

n  Find the point in the SC where Γ=+1,-1, j, -j, 0, 0.5 n  What is r and x for each case?

ljLel β2)( −Γ=Γ

Fun facts : Admittance in the SC n  The admittance, y=YL/Yo where Yo=1/Zo, can be

found by moving ½ turn (λ/4) on the TL circle
