Problem 2.

47 Use the Smith chart to find the reflection coefficient corresponding

to a load impedance of
(a) ZL = 3Z0
(b) ZL = (2 j2)Z0
(c) ZL = j2Z0

(d) ZL = 0 (short circuit)

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.47.

(a) Point A is zL = 3 + j0. = 0.5e0

(b) Point B is zL = 2 j2. = 0.62e29.7

(c) Point C is zL = 0 j2. = 1.0e53.1

(d) Point D is zL = 0 + j0. = 1.0e180.0
