1.- Direct Calculation

pozar_02_example_04.m

Z0=50; % [ohm] transmission line characteristic impedance

%% short TL and measure low voltage positions, from generator to load

d1=[.2 2.2 4.2]*1e-2; % [m]

lambda=2*mean(diff(d1)) % [m] lambda =

0.0400
% unknown load connected to TL
% and measure SWR as well as Vmin positions, again towards load

d2=[.72 2.72 4.72]*1e-2; % [m]

SWR=1.5 SWR =
1.5000
gamma_Load_abs=(SWR-1)/(SWR+1) gamma_Load_abs =
0.2000

The generator position is z=0 .

If the load is placed at d1(2)=2.2 % [cm] then the nearest Vmin, both Vmin and Vmax not directly supplied, from load
to generator is:

d1(2)-max(d2(d2<d1(2))) =
0.0148

If the load is placed at d1(3)=4.2cm then the nearest Vmin from load to generator is:

d1(3)-max(d2(d2<d1(3))) =
0.0148

So the load is placed dL from short, from generator towards load

dL=(d1(3)-max(d2(d2<d1(3))))/lambda dL =
0.3700

dL=.5 would be a complete 360º turn on Smith Chart

a_rad=dL*(2*pi)/.5 % [rad] a_rad =

4.6496
a_deg =
a_deg=a_rad*180/pi % [deg]
266.4000

a_deg rotation from short circuit towards load means

a_Load_deg=a_deg-180 a_Load_deg =
86.4000
a_Load_rad=a_Load_deg*pi/180a a_Load_rad =
1.5080
gamma_Load =
gamma_Load=gamma_Load_abs*(cos(a_Load_rad)+1j*sin(a_Load_rad)) 0.0126 + 0.1996i
ZL =
ZL=Z0*(1+gamma_Load)/(1- gamma_Load) 47.2961 +19.6678i
