1. A lossless transmission line of electrical length l =0.3 and characteristic impedance
of 75 is terminated with a complex load impedance Z
L
=30 - j20 . Find the
reflection coefficient at the load, the SWR on the line, and the input impedance to the
line.
2. A radio transmitter is connected to an antenna having an impedance 80 +j40 with a
50 coaxial cable. If the 50 transmitter can deliver 30 W when connected to a 50
load, how much power is delivered to the antenna?
3. Consider the transmission line circuit shown below. Compare the incident power, the
reflected power, and the power transmitted into the infinite 75 line. Show that power
conservation is satisfied.

4. Consider the quarter-wave matching transformer circuit shown below. Drive
expressions for V
+
and V
-
, the amplitudes of the forward and reverse traveling waves
on the quarter-wave line section, in terms of V
i
, the incident voltage amplitude.
