Problem 2.

31 A voltage generator with

vg (t) = 5 cos(2 109t) V
and internal impedance Zg = 50 is connected to a 50- lossless air-spaced
transmission line. The line length is 5 cm and the line is terminated in a load with
impedance ZL = (100 j100) . Determine:
(a) at the load.
(b) Zin at the input to the transmission line.
(c) The input voltage Vei and input current Ii .
(d) The quantities in (a)(c) using CD Modules 2.4 or 2.5.
Solution:
(a) From Eq. (2.59),
=

ZL Z0 (100 j100) 50
=
= 0.62e j29.7 .
ZL + Z0 (100 j100) + 50

(b) All formulae for Zin require knowledge of = /up . Since the line is an
air line, up = c, and from the expression for vg (t) we conclude = 2 109 rad/s.
Therefore
2 109 rad/s 20
=
=
rad/m.
3 108 m/s

Then, using Eq. (2.79),

ZL + jZ0 tan l
Zin = Z0
Z0 + jZL tan l
"

#
(100 j100) + j50 tan 203 rad/m 5 cm

= 50
50 + j(100 j100) tan 203 rad/m 5 cm
"
#

(100 j100) + j50 tan 3 rad

= (12.5 j12.7) .

= 50
50 + j(100 j100) tan 3 rad

(c) In phasor domain, Veg = 5 Ve j0 . From Eq. (2.80),

Veg Zin
5 (12.5 j12.7)
=
= 1.40e j34.0
Vei =
Zg + Zin 50 + (12.5 j12.7)

and also from Eq. (2.80),

Vei
1.4e j34.0
Iei =
=
= 78.4e j11.5
Zin (12.5 j12.7)
