T-line voltage and current

!""#
For the following T-line system, you know ZL=100 ohms Z0=50 ohms Zg =75 ohms and the length of the line is

If you know that 𝑉 % (𝑥() = − ) is 50 volts

!""#
a) Find 𝑉 , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐼 at the input of the line (𝑥() = − )
!
b) Find 𝐼% at the load positions (x=0)
!""#
c) Find the average power at the input of the line (𝑥() = − )
!
d) Can you find Vg? Explain and show if you can or cannot and find it if you think you can

a) To do this the easiest way is to find Zin
