13. Reactance provided by the tube capacitance X c = j Z o tan (2  / ) L The length 'L' of the tuned co-axial line is given by: L = /2  tan -1 X c / Z o Where = wavelength in cm X c = reactance due to the inter-electrode capacitance Z o = characteristic impedance of the line (ohm) The 50 ohm matching point to tap-out the output power is given by: L 2 = /2   R i /R g. [X c /(X c 2 + Z o 2 ) 1/2 ] cm Where L 2 = distance from the short circuited end to the matching point. R i = Output resistance (50 ohm in this case) R g = grid resistance in ohms. Co-axial structure with centre conductor having circular cross- section and outer conductor of rectangular cross section are commonly used.
