Figure P2.68: (a) First solution to Problem 2.68.

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.68(a) and Fig. P2.68(b), which represent two different
solutions.

and is located at point Z-LOAD in both figures. Since it is advantageous to work in
admittance coordinates, yL is plotted as point Y -LOAD in both figures. Y -LOAD is at
0.041 on the WTG scale.
 For the first solution in Fig. P2.68(a), point Y -LOAD-IN-1 represents the point
at which g = 1 on the SWR circle of the load. Y -LOAD-IN-1 is at 0.145 on the
WTG scale, so the stub should be located at 0.145 0.041 = 0.104 from the
load (or some multiple of a half wavelength further). At Y -LOAD-IN-1, b = 0.52,
so a stub with an input admittance of ystub = 0 j0.52 is required. This point is
Y -STUB-IN-1 and is at 0.423 on the WTG scale. The short circuit admittance
is denoted by point Y -SHT, located at 0.250 . Therefore, the short stub must be
0.423 0.250 = 0.173 long (or some multiple of a half wavelength longer).

Figure P2.68: (b) Second solution to Problem 2.68.

For the second solution in Fig. P2.68(b), point Y -LOAD-IN-2 represents the point
at which g = 1 on the SWR circle of the load. Y -LOAD-IN-2 is at 0.355 on the
WTG scale, so the stub should be located at 0.355 0.041 = 0.314 from the
load (or some multiple of a half wavelength further). At Y -LOAD-IN-2, b = 0.52,
so a stub with an input admittance of ystub = 0 + j0.52 is required. This point is
Y -STUB-IN-2 and is at 0.077 on the WTG scale. The short circuit admittance
is denoted by point Y -SHT, located at 0.250 . Therefore, the short stub must be
0.077 0.250 + 0.500 = 0.327 long (or some multiple of a half wavelength
longer).
