Problem 2.23 A load with impedanceZL = (25− j50) Ω is to be connected to alossless transmission line with characteristic impedanceZ0, with Z0 chosen such thatthe standing-wave ratio is the smallest possible. What shouldZ0 be?
Solution: SinceS is monotonic with|Γ| (i.e., a plot ofSvs. |Γ| is always increasing),the value ofZ0 which gives the minimum possibleSalso gives the minimum possible|Γ|, and, for that matter, the minimum possible|Γ|2. A necessary condition for aminimum is that its derivative be equal to zero:
0 =∂
∂Z0|Γ|2 =

Therefore,Z20 = R2
L +X2L or
Z0 = |ZL | =√
(252 +(−50)2) = 55.9 Ω.
A mathematically precise solution will also demonstrate that this point is aminimum (by calculating the second derivative, for example). Since the endpointsof the range may be local minima or maxima without the derivative being zero there,the endpoints (namelyZ0 = 0 Ω andZ0 = ∞ Ω) should be checked also.
Problem 2.26 A 50-Ω lossless transmission line is connected to a load composedof a 75-Ω resistor in series with a capacitor of unknown capacitance (Fig. P2.26). If at10 MHz the voltage standing wave ratio on the line was measured to be 3, determinethe capacitanceC.

Problem 2.19 A 50-Ω lossless transmission line is terminated in a load withimpedanceZL = (30− j50) Ω. The wavelength is 8 cm. Find:
(a) the reflection coefficient at the load,(b) the standing-wave ratio on the line,(c) the position of the voltage maximum nearest the load,(d) the position of the current maximum nearest the load.(e) Verify quantities in parts (a)–(d) using CD Module 2.4. Include a printout of

(d) A current maximum occurs at a voltage minimum, and from Eq. (2.72),
dmin = dmax−λ/4 = 3.11 cm−8 cm/4 = 1.11 cm.

Problem 2.21 On a 150-Ω lossless transmission line, the following observationswere noted: distance of first voltage minimum from the load= 3 cm; distance of firstvoltage maximum from the load= 9 cm;S= 3. FindZL .
Solution: Distance between a minimum and an adjacent maximum= λ/4. Hence,
9 cm−3 cm= 6 cm= λ/4,
or λ = 24 cm. Accordingly, the first voltage minimum is atdmin = 3 cm = λ8 .
Application of Eq. (2.71) withn = 0 gives
