A near monitoring station has put 75Ω coaxial transmission line with a length of 20 m and is
terminated with an antenna of 37.5 + 𝑗78Ω. If the relative permittivity of the line is 2.56 and
the frequency is 3.0 GHz, find the input impedance to the line, the reflection coefficient at the
load, the reflection coefficient at the input, and the SWR on the line.
