ECE 3317 Prof. Ji Chen Spring 2014 Notes 10 Transmission Lines(Reflection and Impedance)
Reflection Zg I(z) + Z0 V(z) ZL S - z = 0 z Consider a transmission line that is terminated with a load: Sinusoidal source Voltage and current on the line:
Reflection (cont.) Zg I(z) + Z0 V(z) ZL S - z = 0 Important point: The forward-traveling and backward-traveling wave amplitudes are the amplitudes that describe the two waves in sinusoidal steady-state (after all bounces have died down and we are in steady state). A = amplitude of net forward-traveling wave B = amplitude of net backward-traveling wave
Reflection (cont.) Zg I(z) + Z0 V(z) ZL S - z = 0 z At the load (z = 0): Hence we have or
Reflection Coefficient We define the load reflection coefficient: Hence We then have or
Voltage and Current We can then write Note: The generator (source) will determine the unknown (complex) constant A.
Impedance Zg I(z) S + Z0 V(z) ZL - z = 0 Zin z We define the input impedance at any point on the line
Impedance (cont.) We then have Canceling the constant A, we have or
Impedance (cont.) Substituting for the load reflection coefficient, we have
Impedance (cont.) Rearranging the expression, we have Now let z = - l
Impedance (cont.) S Zg I(z) + Z0 V(z) ZL - l Zin We then have
Impedance (cont.) Limiting cases 1) General (lossy) line: 2) Lossless line: These limiting cases agree with circuit theory.

Impedance (cont.) Lossless Case Use We then have where

Impedance (cont.) For a lossless line: The input impedance repeats every one-half wavelength. The voltage and current repeat every wavelength. The magnitude of the voltage and current repeat every one-half wavelength. The voltage and current become their negatives after one-half wavelength.
