Problem 2.

46 An antenna with a load impedance

ZL = (75 + j25)
is connected to a transmitter through a 50- lossless transmission line. If under
matched conditions (50- load) the transmitter can deliver 20 W to the load, how
much power can it deliver to the antenna? Assume that Zg = Z0 .
Solution: From Eqs. (2.82) and (2.76),
!

V0 =

Veg Z0 (1 + e j2 l )/(1 e j2 l )
e j l

=
1 + e j2 l
Z0 + Z0 (1 + e j2 l )/(1 e j2 l )
=

Veg e j l
(1 e j2 l ) + (1 + e j2 l )
Veg e j l
(1 e j2 l ) + (1 + e j2 l )

Thus, in Eq. (2.106),

Pav =

= 12 Veg e j l .

| 1 Veg e j l |2
|V0+ |2
|Veg |2
(1 ||2 ) = 2
(1 ||2 ) =
(1 ||2 ).

2Z0
8Z0

Under the matched condition, || = 0 and PL = 20 W, so |Veg |2 /8Z0 = 20 W.

When ZL = (75 + j25) , from Eq. (2.59a),
=

ZL Z0 (75 + j25) 50
=
= 0.277e j33.6 ,
ZL + Z0 (75 + j25) + 50

so Pav = 20 W (1 ||2 ) = 20 W (1 0.2772 ) = 18.46 W.
