Figure P2.63: (b) Solution of Problem 2.63.

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.63(b). Since the 30-Ω resistor is in parallel with the input
impedance at that point, it is advantageous to convert all quantities to admittances.

ZL (50 + j25) Ω
zL = = = 1 + j0.5
Z0 50 Ω
and is located at point Z-LOAD. The corresponding normalized load admittance is at
point Y -LOAD, which is at 0.394λ on the WTG scale. The input admittance of the
load only at the shunt conductor is at 0.394λ + 0.300λ − 0.500λ = 0.194λ and is
denoted by point A. It has a value of

yinA = 1.37 + j0.45.

The shunt conductance has a normalized conductance
50 Ω
g= = 1.67.
30 Ω
The normalized admittance of the shunt conductance in parallel with the input
admittance of the load is the sum of their admittances:

yinB = g + yinA = 1.67 + 1.37 + j0.45 = 3.04 + j0.45

and is located at point B. On the WTG scale, point B is at 0.242λ . The input
admittance of the entire circuit is at 0.242λ + 0.300λ − 0.500λ = 0.042λ and is
denoted by point Y -IN. The corresponding normalized input impedance is at Z-IN
and has a value of
zin = 1.9 − j1.4.
Thus,
Zin = zin Z0 = (1.9 − j1.4) × 50 Ω = (95 − j70) Ω.
