3. Half and Quarter wave transmission lines The relationship of the input impedance at the input of the half-wave transmission line with its terminating impedance is got by letting L = wavelength/2 in the impedance equation. Z input = Z L The relationship of the input impedance at the input of the quarter-wave transmission line with its terminating impedance is got by letting L =wavelength/4 in the impedance equation. Z input = (Z input Z output ) 0.5

6. Single Shunt Stub Tuner Design Procedure 10/7/20156ELCT564 1. Locate normalized load impedance and draw VSWR circle (normalized load admittance point is 180 o from the normalized impedance point). 2. From the normalized load admittance point, rotate CW (toward generator) on the VSWR circle until it intersects the r = 1 circle. This rotation distance is the length d of the terminated section of t-tline. The nomalized admittance at this point is 1 + jb. 3. Beginning at the stub end (rightmost Smith chart point is the admittance of a short-circuit, leftmost Smith chart point is the admittance of an open-circuit), rotate CW (toward generator) until the point at 0 - jb is reached. This rotation distance is the stub length l.

7. Smith Chart Impedances, voltages, currents, etc. all repeat every half wavelength The magnitude of the reflection coefficient, the standing wave ratio (SWR) do not change, so they characterize the voltage & current patterns on the line If the load impedance is normalized by the characteristic impedance of the line, the voltages, currents, impedances, etc. all still have the same properties, but the results can be generalized to any line with the same normalized impedances

8. Smith Chart The Smith Chart is a clever tool for analyzing transmission lines The outside of the chart shows location on the line in wavelengths The combination of intersecting circles inside the chart allow us to locate the normalized impedance and then to find the impedance anywhere on the line

11. Smith Chart Impedance divided by line impedance (50 Ohms) Z1 = 100 + j50 Z2 = 75 -j100 Z3 = j200 Z4 = 150 Z5 = infinity (an open circuit) Z6 = 0 (a short circuit) Z7 = 50 Z8 = 184 -j900 Then, normalize and plot. The points are plotted as follows: z1 = 2 + j z2 = 1.5 -j2 z3 = j4 z4 = 3 z5 = infinity z6 = 0 z7 = 1 z8 = 3.68 -j18S

12. Smith Chart Thus, the first step in analyzing a transmission line is to locate the normalized load impedance on the chart Next, a circle is drawn that represents the reflection coefficient or SWR. The center of the circle is the center of the chart. The circle passes through the normalized load impedance Any point on the line is found on this circle. Rotate clockwise to move toward the generator (away from the load) The distance moved on the line is indicated on the outside of the chart in wavelengths
