The Smith Chart: Example 1
04/18/23 17ELCT564
Suppose we have a transmission line with a characteristic impedance of 50Ω and an electrical length of 0.3λ. The line is terminated with an impedance having a resistive component of 25Ω and an inductive reactance of 25Ω. What is the input impedance to the line?
Basic Steps using Smith Chart:•Normalize and plot a line input/load impedance and construct a constant SWR circle•Apply the line length to the wavelengths scales•Read normalized load/input impedance, and convert to impedance in ohms
The Smith Chart: Example 2

Suppose we have a measured input impedance to a 50Ω of 70-j25 Ω. The line is 2.35λ long, and is terminated in an antenna. What is the antenna feed impedance?
The Slotted Line
04/18/23 19ELCT564
The following two step procedure has been carried out with a 50 Ω coaxial slotted line to determine an unknown load impedance:•A short circuit is placed at the load plane, resulting in a standing wave on the line with infinite SWR, and sharply defined voltage minima recorded at z=0.2 cm, 2.2cm, 4.2cm•The short circuit is removed, and replaced with the unknown load. The SWR is measured as 1.5, and voltage minima are recorded at z=0.72cm, 2.72cm, 4.72cm.
Find the load impedance.
The Quarter-Wave Transformer
04/18/23 20ELCT564
Consider a load resistance RL=100Ω to be matched to a 50Ω line with a quarter-wave transformer. Find the characteristic impedance of the matching line section and plot the magnitude of the reflection coefficient versus normalized frequency, f/fo, where fo is the frequency at which the line is λ/4 long.

The Distorionless Line
When the phase term is not a linear function of frequency, the various frequency components of a wideband signal will travel with different phase velocities and arrive the receiver end of the transmission line at slight different times. This will lead to dispersion.
