COMPLEX CONJUGATES

A unit of electrical charge equal to one amp second,


18
the charge on 6.2110 electrons, or one joule per
volt.

The complex conjugate of a number is simply that


number with the sign changed on the imaginary part.
This applies to both rectangular and polar notation.
When conjugates are multiplied, the result is a scalar.

(a + jb)(a jb) = a 2 + b 2

Anchor a compass at the center of the chart and draw an


arc through the normalized load impedance point. Points
along this arc represent the normalized impedance at
various points along the transmission line. Clockwise
movement along the arc represents movement from the
load toward the source with one full revolution representing
1/2 wavelength as marked on the outer circle. The two
points where the arc intersects the horizontal axis are the
voltage maxima (right) and the voltage minima (left).
Points opposite the impedance (180 around the arc) are
admittance. The reason admittance is useful is because
admittances in parallel are simply added.

Draw a straight line from the center of the chart through


the normalized load impedance point to the edge of the
chart.

Example: Find the lengths of open and shorted shunt


stubs to match an admittance of 1-j0.5. The admittance
of an open shunt (zero length) is Y=0; this point is
located at the left end of the Smith Chart x-axis. We
proceed clockwise around the Smith chart, i.e. away
from the end of the stub, to the +j0.5 arc (the value
needed to match j0.5). The difference in the starting
point and the end point on the wavelength scale is the
length of the stub in wavelengths. The length of a
shorted-type stub is found in the same manner but
with the starting point at Y=
.

.3

First normalize the load impedance by dividing by the


characteristic impedance, and find this point on the chart.
An inductive load will be located on the top half of the
chart, a capacitive load on the bottom half.

In this example, all values were in units of admittance.


If we were interested in finding a stub length for a
series stub problem, the units would be in impedance.
The problem would be worked in exactly the same way.
Of course in impedance, an open shunt (zero length)
would have the value Z=
, representing a point at the
right end of the x-axis.

Shunt-stub: Select d
so that the
admittance Y looking
toward the load from
a distance d is of the
form Y0 + jB. Then
the stub
susceptance is
chosen as jB,
resulting in a
matched condition.
Series-stub: Select d
so that the admittance
Z looking toward the
load from a distance d
is of the form Z0 + jX.
Then the stub
susceptance is chosen
as -jX, resulting in a
matched condition.

Find the intensity of the electric field at distance r from a

Consider a cylindrical surface of length l and radius r
enclosing a portion of the conductor. The electric field
passes through the curved surface of the cylinder but not

through this curved surface is equal to the charge enclosed.

l(r') means "the charge density along line l as a


function of r'." This might be a value in C/m or it
could be a function. Similarly, s(r') would be the
charge density of a surface and v(r') is the
charge density of a volume.
For example, a disk of radius a having a uniform
charge density of C/m2, would have a total
charge of a2, but to find its influence on points
along the central axis we might consider
incremental rings of the charged surface as
s(r') dr'= s2r' dr'.
If dl' refers to an incremental distance along a circular
contour C, the expression is r'd
, where r' is the
radius and d
is the incremental angle.

NABLA, DEL OR GRAD OPERATOR


[+ m-1]
Compare the operation to taking the time
derivative. Where /t means to take the derivative
with respect to time and introduces a s-1 component to
the units of the result, the operation means to take
the derivative with respect to distance (in 3
dimensions) and introduces a m-1 component to the
units of the result. terms may be called space
derivatives and an equation which contains the
operator may be called a vector differential
equation. In other words A is how fast A changes
as you move through space.

DIVERGENCE [+ m ]

The del operator followed by the dot product operator


is read as "the divergence of" and is an operation
performed on a vector. In rectangular coordinates,
means the sum of the partial derivatives of the
magnitudes in the x, y, and z directions with respect to
the x, y, and z variables. The result is a scalar, and a
factor of m-1 is contributed to the units of the result.
For example, in this form of Gauss' law, where D is a
density per unit area, D becomes a density per unit
volume.

, (,lambda) MAGNETIC FLUX, LINKAGE


Flux linkage is the ability of a closed circuit to store
magnetic energy. It depends, in part, on the
physical layout of the conductors. It is the total
magnetic field due to circuit #1 passing through the
area enclosed by the conductors of circuit #2. The
text seemed to describe as the flux due to one turn
and as the flux due to all of the turns of the coil, but
was not consistent so be careful.

LENZ'S LAW
Induced voltage causes current to flow in the direction
that produces a magnetic flux which opposes the flux
that induced the voltage in the first place. This law is
useful in checking or determining the sign or polarity
of a result.

L INDUCTANCE [H]
Inductance is the ability of a conductor configuration
to "link magnetic flux", i.e. store magnetic energy.

When the magnetic flux enclosed by a loop of wire
changes with time, a current is produced in the loop.
The variation of the magnetic flux can result from a
time-varying magnetic field, a coil in motion, or both.
