b) Standing-wave Ratio (SWR)

SWR =

1+ 1

1 + 0.66 1 0.66 = 4.88 =

c) The load admittance

Therefore,

Z L = 100 + j150
1 1 = Z L 100 + j150

YL =

= 3.077 j 4.615 mS

d) Zin at Know that,

from the load

l = 0.4 and = 2

l =
Where,

0.4 = 0.8

= 180

So,

l = 0.8 180 = 144

Z + jZ o tan l Z in at 0.4 = Z o L Z o + jZ L tan l

(100 + j150) + j 75 tan 144 = 75 75 + j (100 + j150) tan 144 = 21.96 + j 47.6

e) Zin at the generator

l = 0.6 and = 2

l =

0.6 = 1.2

l = 1.2 180 = 216

Z + jZ o tan l Z in at 0.6 = Z o L Z o + jZ L tan l (100 + j150) + j 75 tan 216 = 75 75 + j (100 + j150) tan 216

Example 3: (Stub Matching)

Solution:

The normalized load impedance is:

zL = Z L 450 j 600 = = 1.5 j 2 Zo 300

Identify the point of intersection. (Point A) Draw a circle with a radius of OA It cuts the centre line at 4.6, therefore SWR=4.6 Draw a line OA and extend it to B. B represents normalized admittance, yL

The drawn circle cuts r=1 circle at point C

At point C = 1+ j1.7 Distance point B to C is the stub distance from the load. Stub distance:

= 0.18 0.052 = 0.128

10

Stub length:
= 0.334 0.25 = 0.084

Know that:

f = 20 MHz c 3 10 8 m / s = = = 15m f 20MHz Stub length:

= 0.084 15m = 1.26m

Stub distance:
= 0.128 15m = 1.92m

The designed stub parameters are: Stub length = 1.26m Stub distance = 1.92m

Example 4: (Quarter-wave Transformer)

Solution:
The normalized load impedance is:

zL =

Z L 25 j50 = = 0.33 j 0.66 Zo 75

z = 0.33-j0.66 is plot on the Smith chart and draw the

SWR circle.

12

The closest point on the smith chart where zin is purely resistive is point B. Therefore, the distance that the quarter-wave transformer must be placed from the load is:

= 0.1

The normalized input impedance is point B:

z in = 0.22

The actual input impedance,

The characteristic impedance of the quarter-wave transformer is:

Z in = zin Z o = 0.22(75) = 16.5

' Z 0 = Z o .Z in = 75 16.5 = 35.2
