1. A lossless transmission line excited by a sinusoidal voltage source is terminated in a resistive

load. How does the input impedance of the line move on the Smith chart as the frequency of [2]
the source increases? (Assume that the load impedance does not change with frequency)

2. Calculate the characteristic impedance of a quarter wave transformer that is used to match [3]
200  load to 50  transmission line. How can a quarter wave transformer be used to match
a complex load impedance to 50  transmission line?

3. In the time domain reflectometry, a matched step source (10 u(t) V) is used to excite a lossless [6]
transmission line of characteristic impedance Z0=100 . Beyond a distance d from the source,
due to the presence of moisture, the characteristic impedance of the line changes to Z1. The
voltage measured at the input is shown in the following figure:

Z0=100 Z1

z=0 z=d

Determine d and Z1, if the velocity of propagation on the line is 3 × 108 m/s.

4. In the double stub experiment that was performed in the class, two traces shown in the
[6]
following figure were observed.
(a) How were the traces A and B obtained?

(b) Is it possible to match the load used in the experiment to the transmission line using the
double stub? Justify your answer.

Trace - B

Trace - A

5. As one moves on a lossless transmission line from the load towards the source, a voltage [3]
maximum is observed first and then a voltage minimum. The voltage maximum is not at the
load. Determine the nature of the load (inductive, capacitive, or resistive). Justify your
answer.
