Electromagnetic Theory: Impedance Analysis

This document is a student's final activity for an electromagnetic theory course. It contains the student's name, group number, teacher's name, and university. The activity analyzes signals on a transmission line with given parameters, finding the input impedance, reflection coefficients at the load and input, and standing wave ratio (SWR) on the line. Simulations with a Smith chart app validate the theoretical calculations.

4. A near monitoring station has put 75Ω coaxial transmission line with a length of 20 m and
is terminated with an antenna of 37.5 + 𝑗78Ω. If the relative permittivity of the line is
2.56 and the frequency is 3.0 GHz, find the input impedance to the line, the reflection
coefficient at the load, the reflection coefficient at the input, and the SWR on the line.

𝑍𝐿 + 𝑗𝑍0 tan(𝛽𝑙)
𝑍𝑖𝑛 = 𝑍0
𝑍0 + 𝑗𝑍𝐿 tan(𝛽𝑙)

Where,

𝛽 = 𝜔√𝜇𝜀

𝛽 = 100.58

Replacing, we find that,

𝑍𝑖𝑛 = 183.88 − 𝑗157.71 Ω

The reflection coefficient at the load is,

𝑍𝐿 − 𝑍0
Γ𝐿 =
𝑍𝐿 + 𝑍0

Γ𝐿 = 0.099 + 𝑗0.624

The reflection coefficient at the input is,

𝑍𝑖𝑛 − 𝑍0
Γ𝑔 =
𝑍𝑖𝑛 + 𝑍0

Γ𝑔 = 0.577 − 𝑗0.257

Finally, the SWR is given by,

1 + |Γ𝐿 |
𝑆𝑊𝑅 =
1 − |Γ𝐿 |

𝑆𝑊𝑅 = 4.438
The next figure shows the simulations with the app “Smith_chart” available in the play
store. It validates the previous results. Look that the input impedance is normalized, so,
the input impedance will be,
𝑍𝑖𝑛 = (𝑅 + 𝑗𝑋) ⋅ 𝑍0

𝑍𝑖𝑛 = (2.29 − 𝑗2.11) ⋅ 75

𝑍𝑖𝑛 = 171.15 − 𝑗158.26 Ω

This is a result very approached to the theory result. In the software, the SWR is 4.4, it is
almost equal to the theory result.
