Question

1) Smith Chart vs Hand Calculations A transmitter operating at 4 GHz with a source of 200 V and 50 Q internal impedance is connected to an antenna load (ZL

= 150+ j 150 [Q]) through 2 cm of coaxial line. Assume a lossless line and a propagation speed of 2.00 x 10^8 [m/s]. The characteristic impedance of the coaxial line is 75 N.Determine the input impedance of the line (Zin). [Hint: Follow the steps below] a) By hand, calculate the reflection coefficient at the load (z=0.0 cm). b) By hand, now calculate the input impedance of the line (z=2.0 cm). d) Recalculate the input impedance using a Smith Chart, make sure you mark each step clearly. Explain what each move you do on the chart accomplishes. Did you get the same answer as part c)? why or why not?
