Q1: The characteristic impedance of transmission line is given as

Derive the above relationship.

Q2: A 78 Ω lossless planar line was designed but did not meet a requirement. What fraction of the
widths of the strip should be added or removed to get the characteristic impedance of 75 Ω?

Q3: A lossless transmission line operating at 4.5 GHz has L=2.4𝜇𝐻/𝑚 and Z0 = 85Ω. Calculate
the phase constant and phase velocity. Is the line dispersion less or not.

Q4: An 80-ft transmission line operating at 12 MHz is terminated by a load ZL. At 22 m from the
load, the input impedance is 100 - j120 Ω. If u= 0.8c,

(a) Calculate ΓL, Zin,max , and Zin,min .

(b) Find ZL, s, and the input impedance at 28 m from the load.

(c) How many Zin, max and Zin, min are there between the load and the 100 — j120 Ω input
impedance?

Q5: An antenna, connected to a 150-Ω lossless line, produces a standing wave ratio of 2.6. If
measurements indicate that voltage maxima are 120 cm apart and that the last maximum is 40 cm
from the antenna, calculate

(a) The operating frequency

(b) The antenna impedance

(c) The reflection coefficient. Assume that u = c.

Q6: A 100 km telephone line has a series resistance of 4 /km, an inductance of 3 mH/km, a
leakage conductance of 1 S/km, and a shunt capacitance of 0.015 F/km, at an angular frequency
 = 5000 rad/s. At the sending end there is a generator supplying 100 volts peak, at 5000 radians
per second, in series with a resistance of 300 . The load at the receiving end consists of a 200 
resistor. Find the voltage and current as functions of z, and calculate their values at the midpoint
of the line, if the load current IL = −0.115 + j0.0268 A.
