The single of TLattached at some position along another TL: Short- (or open) PO | 7 sve erie his is an example of a parallel SST, which s the only type well study (A series SST is shown in Fig §.4b ofthe text) The shunt- connected section is called the stub. Although not necessary, al sections of TL willbe assumed to have the same Za and fi ‘Why an open or shorted section’ Because these are easy to fabricate, the length can easily be made adjustable and ite to no power is dissipated in the stub. (An open stub is sometimes easier to fabricate than a short.) fs First, we will develop an analytical solution, followed by a Smith chart graphical ‘We will study the SST from two perspe figure above, the transformed load impedance at the stub position 2 = -dis solution, Refering tot 2eu-a)az, Zt Bd) 7 Ze idat Zy+jZ,tm( fd) °° Z,+ jZ,t ‘a shunt connection, iis much simpler to work with admittances than impedances, So, well define the =0V/ 25) -As shown inthe text, this where t= tanfB d).

Consequently, the parallel combination of the stub input susceptance and the transformed load admittance yield an Input admittance Y,, fo. 38 Seen from the source end of the TL As shown in the text. this second condition provides the solutions ‘where Bis the transformed load susceptance at? = -4, Lengths of TL that are integer multiples of A/2.can be added or subtracted from (2), (4), and (5) without altering the tuning, Example NB.: Match the load 2; = 35-| 47 beta to 2 TL with Zp = 50 beta using a shunt, short-circuited single-stub tuner. Single Stub Tuning Using the Smith Chart ‘We will now solve the single stub tuner problem using the Smith chart. n terms of quantities normalized to the characteristic impedance or admittance, the geometry is Shorts (oF open a eireuitweemination, Recall thatthe operation ofthe single stub tuner requires that 1.Adistance d is chosen such that yo’ has @ real part = 2. The imaginary part of "is negated by the stub susceplance after choosing the proper length I. This produces yi, 1, which isthe matched state, We ean perform these steps Using only the Smith chart as our calculator. This process will be illustrated by an example Example N8.2: Using the Smith chart design a shorted shunt single-stub tuner to match the load Z, = 35 - 475 beta to a TL with characteristic impedance 2» ~ 50 beta.
