Question

3) A transmission line is terminated in a normalized load impedance of ZLN = 2.0 – j (1.5).

a) Indicate this position on the Smith chart with an “A”. Find the normalized load admittance and mark it with a “B”.   What is the normalized load admittance?

b) Use the Smith chart to find the reflection coefficient at the load (both magnitude and phase). What percent of the incident power is reflected back from the load?   

Please Include Smith Chart with Solutions.

Reference Solutions:
(a) YLN = 0.32 + j0.24

(b) ?L = 0.53 30 ??30, 28.9% of the incident power is reflected back.
