If you remember that for maximum powor transfer, 2, = Zor the value ofthe lad i equal tothe complex conjugate of @ the source impedance. Ry. +JX = 10~j5 Thus the load resistor must be 10 © and the reactance must be capacitive and equal to [1/(5o)] F. What if you do not remember the maximum power transfer theorem? Well, you can usually work it out just by looking at what you have. It seems reasonable to cancel whatever source reactance there is. Then if the source resistance is either zero or infinity, there is no power transfer. The only thing that makes sense is that the load resistance must equal the source resistance.

The curve can be represented by the function V, sin(wt) +V, A 2ve + Figure 11.4 Since the value of the voltage, v(t), can be expressed as Vp[sin(«t) + 1], we can ignore the value of Vp in our calculations. The true value of the rms voltage will be what we obtain times Vp. ‘Also, since the value of the rms voltage is independent of w, we will let T = 1, which means that o = e e 5 z fF vcorar= f tsin2m +1P-at = fltsin? 20) + 28in(2nt) + Nat = (222A arvor far=| 4 anti) sf Lites 2 or eee Vins = VES = 1.2247V, Problem 11.6 Calculate the RMS value of the signal shown in Figure 11.5. ‘The curve can be represented by the function Vy sin(ct), (please note, this is often referred to as the full wave, rectified sine wave), Ve Figure 11.5 193, We can use the same approach that we used in problem 11.5.
