Due date: Sun, Feb. 11th 11:59 P.M.

Assignments to be submitted on Brightspace

Q1) Use the Smith chart to find the following quantities for the transmission line circuit shown in the accompanying figure:
(a) The SWR on the line.
(b) The reflection coefficient at the load.
(c) The load admittance.
(d) The input impedance of the line.
(e) The distance from the load to the first voltage minimum.

Q2) Design four different two-element LC matching network to match the load ZL = 10 − j40 Ω to a 50Ω line. Find the
value of all reactive elements if f=1GHz. (Use the ZY Smith chart)

Q3) Use the Smith chart to find the shortest lengths of a short-circuited 75Ω line to give the following input impedance:
(a) Zin = 0.
(b) Zin = ∞.
(c) Zin = j75Ω.
(d) Zin = −j50Ω.
(e) Zin = j10Ω

Q4) Repeat the precious problem for an open-circuited length of 75Ω line.
