Section A

The value of characteristic impedance Zo is 50Ξ©. This was determined by trial and error by checking for the load impedance that produced no reflection. Below is the expected expected waveform at point C.

Section C

This section shows the different waveforms at points C, D, F and E for RL = 50Ξ©. It will be showed with two different types of plot: V vs. t, where we expect delayed waveform at positions further from the source; and V vs. d, where we expect to observe the pulse move along the line.

Note that the voltage scale is not the same across these first four plots: the first pair is scaled

to half the size of the second pair. Also there is a time delay of 236ns for the second pair compared to the first. For the following two plots the blue dots represent measured values a point A, B, C and D whereas the dashed line represents the expected values assuming a phase velocity of 2.47 Γ— 108

m/s, T is the pulse width.

which is passed the end of the line, therefore the line will be at 100 mV from 𝑑 =49.4 π‘š to the end of the line and at 0 V before that.

Section D

In section D is proposed to complete a table with the values of the delay time and the phase velocity in which point C, D, E and F. To evaluate the delay time we just need to compare the delay between the point and the point of reference z=0, the point C. The table follows above with the calculations.

Section E

This section ask to us compare in a table the values of Ξ“L measured and Ξ“L calculated from a pulse with width approximately equal to the total delay of the transmission line. The Ξ“L is measured in accord with the values of the voltage reflected and the voltage incident. Those values can be extracted from the plot V vs t. Those plots will follow above the table, C will be the top (yellow) wave and F the bottom (green) wave. The Ξ“L can be calculated with the values of RL and Ro.

Figure 8 – (C,F) – RL = 100Ξ©

On the plots we can clearly observe the results of the table. The errors can occur because of imprecision, connexions and the waste of the equipment, like the internal resistors.

Page 14: Report1 - Final Version

When RL = 0 we can see that there is no pulse at point F. This occurs because the pulses cancel themselves out at that point, since Ξ“L = -1. When RL = 20Ξ©, we can observe a small signal at point F. As this transmission line is lossless, this is the sum of the first and second wave at the point C. Since Ξ“L is negative and has a magnitude less than 1, the second pulse at point C is negative and smaller that the original. When RL = 100Ξ©, the wave at point F becomes bigger than the original one, because the Ξ“L is positive, and the sum of the incident and reflected pulses will be bigger than the incident pulse. Finally, when RL = ∞, we see no significant loss between the pulses at point C. The sum of those two waves is the wave F, the biggest value possible for this point. Below are the graphs V vs t for (C,D) and (E,F) pair, for RL = 20Ξ©.

Below are the graphs V vs. d at time T/2 and 3T/2, where T is the pulse width as well as the total delay of the line (i.e. they are the same). As before the blue dots are measured values (read of the V vs. t graphs) and the dashed lines are expected values.

Calculations to find expected V vs. d:

Figure 12:

Plotting at 𝑑 =𝑇

2 < 𝑇 therefore the end of the pulse will not yet have reached the source;

therefore the source is at Vg = 100 mV.

By 𝑑 =𝑇

2 the front of the pulse will have reached half way across the line (as T is the

total delay of the line); therefore the line will be at 100 mV from the source to 𝑑 = 45 π‘š, and at 0 V, beyond there.

Figure 13:

Plotting at 𝑑 =3𝑇

2> 𝑇 therefore the end of the pulse passed the source. Also

3𝑇

2< 2𝑇

therefore the reflected pulse has yet to reach the source; therefore the source is at 0 V.

By 𝑑 =3𝑇

2 the back of the pulse will have reached half way across the line. The

reflected pulse will have reached half way across the line as well. Therefore, one half of the line (the one closer to that source) will be at 0 V and the voltage on the other half will be the sum of the pulse and the reflected pulse:

𝑉 = 𝑉𝑔 + 𝛀𝐿𝑉𝑔 = 100 βˆ’ 0.4286 Γ— 100 = 57.14 𝑉

mismatching causes part of the incident pulse to be reflected. Without the reflection the

boundary conditions at the load (i.e. 𝑉𝐿 = 𝐼𝐿𝑍𝐿) cannot be satisfied. Since the source is matched the wave is only reflected once.

Page 18: Report1 - Final Version

Section F

This section examines reflection at the load and the source (multiple reflections), with the RSOURCE = (50+100)Ξ© = 150 Ξ© and RL = 20Ξ©. T represents the total delay of the line (356 ns).

We can calculate the reflection at the load and source considering RL = 20Ξ©, RS = 150Ξ© and RO = 50Ξ©.

This allows to find the theoretical V vs t plot at points D and F from 0 to 6T using a bounce diagram. For the plots with pulse width equal to 10T we can treat the pulse as a constant signal because the end of the pulse happens after the end of the plot At point F we have:

For the plots with pulse with equal to T we represent the pulse as two constant signals: one with amplitude Vg starting at t = 0 and another with amplitude -Vg starting at t = T. The first signal gives a V vs. t plot the same as the one calculated for pulse widths equal to 10T; the second gives the same plot once again but negative and shifted right by T. The sum of these two plots is the desired V vs. t plot for the pulse.

Section G

In this section we vary the frequency, find the minimum of the voltage at the input of the line. First with the line terminated in a short circuit and then in a 0.01Β΅F capacitor. This can be done analysing the wave as a sinusoidal wave. We know that the length of the line (L) is 90 m and we know the wave speed as well as the

frequency (𝑓) therefore we can find the line length is term of the wavelength for each case. 𝑣𝑝 = πœ†π‘“

To analyse the results we use the following equation from the course notes:

1 βˆ’ 2Γ𝑆(𝑅𝑒Γ𝐿cos(2𝑗𝛽𝑙) + πΌπ‘šΞ“πΏsin(2𝑗𝛽𝑙)) + Γ𝑆2|Γ𝐿|2

)

From this equation we can see that |𝑉𝐿| is greatest (as a function of 𝑙) when

2Γ𝑆 (Ξ“πΏπ‘Ÿcos(2𝑗𝛽𝑙) + Γ𝐿𝑖

sin(2𝑗𝛽𝑙)) greatest. Since πΌπ‘šΞ“πΏ = 0 for a short circuit termination, this

maximum occur where cos(2𝑗𝛽𝑙) = 1, where 𝑙 is an integer multiple of πœ†

2. A result that fits well

with what we observe for the short terminated line. For a capacitor terminated line πΌπ‘šΞ“πΏ β‰  0

nor is negligible compared to 𝑅𝑒Γ𝐿 since the impedance of the capacitor and the characteristic

impedance are of the same order of magnitude (1

2 πœ‹Γ—4.18Γ—106Γ—0.01Γ—10βˆ’6 = 3.81 ~ 50). Therefore the

maximum voltages for the capacitor vs. short terminated lines should be different. The results are not different; this may indicate that the capacitor used to terminate the line was defective. The maximum current occurs when the voltage has a minimum value. We can see it simply analysing two formulas:

|𝑉(𝑧′)| =|𝐼𝐿|

2|𝑍𝐿 + 𝑅𝑂|√[1 + |Γ𝐿

Since those two formulas are in function of z’, the (1) will reach the maximum when

cos(πœƒπ‘Ÿ βˆ’ 2𝛽𝑧′) is maximum. But the (2) will be a minimum when cos(πœƒπ‘Ÿ βˆ’ 2𝛽𝑧′) is maximum. Furthermore, when cos(πœƒπ‘Ÿ βˆ’ 2𝛽𝑧′) is minimum, the formula (2) will reach the maximum, and the formula (1) will reach his minimum, as we expected.
