Question

• Measurement of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)

In addition to the questions asked in the handout, do the following:

1. Using a Smith Chart, determine the magnitude (absolute value) of the

load reflection coefficient and draw its locus on the Smith Chart.

2. Is it possible to determine the load impedance from your Smith Chart?

Justify your answer.

3. Suppose that the phase of the load reflection coefficient is -75°, what is

the load impedance? Is the load impedance inductive or capacitive?

Justify your answer.
