1.5 The terminated lossless transmission line

What is a voltage reflection coefficient?

Assume an incident wave ( ) generated from a source at z < 0. We have seen that the ratio of voltage to current for such a traveling wave is Z0, the characteristic impedance. But when the line is terminated in an arbitrary load ZL Z0, the ratio of voltage to current at the load must be ZL. Thus, a reflected wave must be excited with the appropriate amplitude to satisfy this condition.

What is a voltage reflection coefficient?

The total voltage and current waves on the line :

Consider the time-average power flow along the line at the point z:

which can be simplified:

• Constant average power flow at any point on the line;• Total power delivered to the load = incident power – reflected power

To understand the reflection coefficient, eg, standing wave (Zl = 0, 0 = -1), we have

Define Voltage standing wave ratio to measure the reflection intensity at 0 < 1

(z = -l)

(1 SWR < , where SWR=1 implied a match load.)

l = -z

The reflection coefficient at z = -l:

Power consideration:

Homework3. A lossless transmission line of electrical length l = 0.3, is terminated with a complex load impedance as shown below. Find the reflection coefficient at the load, the SWR on the line, the reflection coefficient at the input of the line, and the input impedance to the line.

ZL = 30 –j20 ZL

l = 0.3

Zin Z0= 75

4. A radio transmitter is connected to an antenna having an impedance 80 + j40 with a 50 coaxial cable. If the 50 transmitter can deliver 30 W when connected to a 50 load. How much power is delivered to the antenna?
