Lecture 5 Discontinuities and the manipulation of transmission lines problems

Review • Transmission lines or T-lines are used to guide propagation of

EM waves at high frequencies.

• Distances between devices are separated by much larger order of wavelength than those in the normal electrical

circuits causing time delay.

• General transmission line’s equation• Voltage and current on the transmission line

Wave reflection at discontinuities• To satisfy boundary conditions between two

dissimilar lines

• If the line is lossy, Z0 will be complex.

Reflection coefficient at the load (1)• The phasor voltage along the line can be shown

as

• The phasor voltage and current at the load is the sum of incident and reflected values evaluated at z = 0.

Voltage standing wave ratio

• Incident and reflected waves create “Standing wave”.

• Knowing standing waves or the voltage amplitude as a function of position helps determine load and input impedances

Forms of voltage (1)

• If a load is matched then no reflected wave occurs, the voltage will be the same at every point.

• If the load is terminated in short or open circuit, the total voltage form becomes a standing wave.

• If the reflected voltage is neither 0 nor 100 percent of the incident voltage then the total voltage will compose of both traveling and standing waves.

Complex loads

• Input complex impedance or loads may e modeled using simple resistor, inductor, and capacitor lump elements

For example, ZL = 100+j200 this is a 100 resistor in serieswith an inductor that has an inductance of j200 .

Let f = 1 GHz,

What if the lossless line is terminated in a purely reactive load?Let Z0 = R0 and ZL+jXL, then we have

that a unity magnitude, so the wave is completely reflected.

Using the smith chart (1)

A plot of the normalized impedance The magnitude of is found by taking the distance from the center point of the chart, divided by the radius of the chart (|| = 1). The argument of is measured from the axis. Recall we see that Zin at Z = -l along the TL corresponds to

Moving away from the load corresponds to moving in a clockwise direction on the Smith chart.

Vmin and Vmax are locations where the load ZL is a pure resistance.

Vmax occurs when r > 1 (RL > Z0) at wtg = 0.25. Vmin occurs when r < 1 (RL < Z0) at wtg = 0.
