Section 2-5: The Lossless Line

Problem 2.6 In addition to not dissipating power, a lossless line has two important
features: (1) it is dispertionless (µp is independent of frequency) and (2) its
characteristic impedance Z0 is purely real. Sometimes, it is not possible to design
a transmission line such that R ωL and G ωC , but it is possible to choose the
dimensions of the line and its material properties so as to satisfy the condition
RC LG (distortionless line)
Such a line is called a distortionless line because despite the fact that it is not lossless,
it does nonetheless possess the previously mentioned features of the loss line. Show
that for a distortionless line,

Solution: Given an arbitrary transmission line, f 125 MHz, Z 0 40 Ω,
α 0 02 Np/m, and β 0 75 rad/m. Since Z 0 is real and α 0, the line is

Problem 2.15 A load with impedance Z L 25 j50 Ω is to be connected to a

lossless transmission line with characteristic impedance Z 0 , with Z0 chosen such that
the standing-wave ratio is the smallest possible. What should Z 0 be?
Solution: Since S is monotonic with Γ (i.e., a plot of S vs. Γ is always increasing),
the value of Z0 which gives the minimum possible S also gives the minimum possible
Γ , and, for that matter, the minimum possible Γ 2 . A necessary condition for a
minimum is that its derivative be equal to zero:
∂ ∂ RL jXL Z0 2
0 Γ2

∂ RL Z0 2

Therefore, Z02 R2L XL2 or

Z0 ZL 252 50 2
55 9 Ω

A mathematically precise solution will also demonstrate that this point is a
minimum (by calculating the second derivative, for example). Since the endpoints
of the range may be local minima or maxima without the derivative being zero there,
the endpoints (namely Z0 0 Ω and Z0 ∞ Ω) should be checked also.

Section 2-7: Special Cases

Problem 2.24 At an operating frequency of 300 MHz, it is desired to use a section
of a lossless 50-Ω transmission line terminated in a short circuit to construct an
equivalent load with reactance X 40 Ω. If the phase velocity of the line is 0 75c,
what is the shortest possible line length that would exhibit the desired reactance at its
input?
Solution:
2π rad/cycle 300 106 cycle/s
β ω up 8 38 rad/m
0 75 3 108 m/s
On a lossless short-circuited transmission line, the input impedance is always purely
sc
imaginary; i.e., Zin jXinsc . Solving Eq. (2.68) for the line length,

1 Xinsc 1 40 Ω 0 675 nπ rad

β Z0 8 38 rad/m 50 Ω 8 38 rad/m
for which the smallest positive solution is 8 05 cm (with n 0).
Problem 2.25 A lossless transmission line is terminated in a short circuit. How

long (in wavelengths) should the line be in order for it to appear as an open circuit at
its input terminals?

Solution: From Eq. (2.68), Zin jZ0 tan βl. If βl π 2 nπ , then Zin

Hence,

This is evident from Figure 2.15(d).
Problem 2.26 The input impedance of a 31-cm-long lossless transmission line of

unknown characteristic impedance was measured at 1 MHz. With the line terminated
in a short circuit, the measurement yielded an input impedance equivalent to an
inductor with inductance of 0.064 µH, and when the line was open circuited, the
measurement yielded an input impedance equivalent to a capacitor with capacitance
of 40 pF. Find Z0 of the line, the phase velocity, and the relative permittivity of the
insulating material.

Problem 2.27 A 75-Ω resistive load is preceded by a λ 4 section of a 50-Ω lossless

line, which itself is preceded by another λ 4 section of a 100-Ω line. What is the input
impedance?
Solution: The input impedance of the λ 4 section of line closest to the load is found
from Eq. (2.77):
Z02 502
Zin 33 33 Ω
ZL 75
The input impedance of the line section closest to the load can be considered as the
load impedance of the next section of the line. By reapplying Eq. (2.77), the next
section of λ 4 line is taken into account:
Z02 1002
Zin 300 Ω
ZL 33 33
Problem 2.28 A 100-MHz FM broadcast station uses a 300-Ω transmission line

between the transmitter and a tower-mounted half-wave dipole antenna. The antenna
impedance is 73 Ω. You are asked to design a quarter-wave transformer to match the
antenna to the line.
(a) Determine the electrical length and characteristic impedance of the quarter-
wave section.
(b) If the quarter-wave section is a two-wire line with d 2 5 cm, and the spacing
between the wires is made of polystyrene with ε r 2 6, determine the physical
length of the quarter-wave section and the radius of the two wire conductors.
50 CHAPTER 2
Solution:
(a) For a match condition, the input impedance of a load must match that of the
transmission line attached to the generator. A line of electrical length λ 4 can be
used. From Eq. (2.77), the impedance of such a line should be

Problem 2.29 A 50-MHz generator with Z g 50 Ω is connected to a load

ZL 50 j25 Ω. The time-average power transferred from the generator into the

load is maximum when Zg ZL where ZL is the complex conjugate of ZL . To achieve
this condition without changing Z g , the effective load impedance can be modified by
adding an open-circuited line in series with Z L , as shown in Fig. 2-40 (P2.29). If the
line’s Z0 100 Ω, determine the shortest length of line (in wavelengths) necessary
for satisfying the maximum-power-transfer condition.
Solution: Since the real part of Z L is equal to Zg , our task is to find l such that the
input impedance of the line is Z in j25 Ω, thereby cancelling the imaginary part

of ZL (once ZL and the input impedance the line are added in series). Hence, using
Eq. (2.73),

Problem 2.32 If the two-antenna configuration shown in Fig. 2-41 (P2.32) is
connected to a generator with Vg 250 V and Zg 50 Ω, how much average power
is delivered to each antenna?
Solution: Since line 2 is λ 2 in length, the input impedance is the same as
ZL1 75 Ω. The same is true for line 3. At junction C–D, we now have two 75-Ω
impedances in parallel, whose combination is 75 2 37 5 Ω. Line 1 is λ 2 long.
Hence at A–C, input impedance of line 1 is 37.5 Ω, and

Problem 2.33 For the circuit shown in Fig. 2-42 (P2.33), calculate the average
incident power, the average reflected power, and the average power transmitted into
the infinite 100-Ω line. The λ 2 line is lossless and the infinitely long line is
slightly lossy. (Hint: The input impedance of an infinitely long line is equal to its
characteristic impedance so long as α 0.)
Solution: Considering the semi-infinite transmission line as equivalent to a load
(since all power sent down the line is lost to the rest of the circuit), Z L Z1 100 Ω.
Since the feed line is λ 2 in length, Eq. (2.76) gives Z in ZL 100 Ω and

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.38. The normalized impedance
50 j25 Ω
zL 1 j0 5
50 Ω
is at point Z-LOAD.
(a) Γ 0 24e j76 0 The angle of the reflection coefficient is read of that scale at
the point θr .
CHAPTER 2 63
(b) At the point SW R: S 1 64.

(c) Zin is 0 350λ from the load, which is at 0 144λ on the wavelengths to generator
scale. So point Z-IN is at 0 144λ 0 350λ 0 494λ on the WTG scale. At point
Z-IN:

Zin zin Z0 0 61 j0 022 50 Ω 30 5 j1 09 Ω

(d) At the point on the SWR circle opposite Z-IN,
yin 1 64 j0 06
Yin 32 7 j1 17 mS
Z0 50 Ω
(e) Traveling from the point Z-LOAD in the direction of the generator (clockwise),
the SWR circle crosses the xL 0 line first at the point SWR. To travel from Z-LOAD
to SWR one must travel 0 250λ 0 144λ 0 106λ. (Readings are on the wavelengths

to generator scale.) So the shortest line length would be 0 106λ.
(f) The voltage max occurs at point SWR. From the previous part, this occurs at
z 0 106λ.

Problem 2.39 A lossless 50-Ω transmission line is terminated in a short circuit.
Use the Smith chart to find
(a) the input impedance at a distance 2 3λ from the load,
(b) the distance from the load at which the input admittance is Yin j0 04 S.

(a) For a short, zin 0 j0. This is point Z-SHORT and is at 0 000λ on the WTG

scale. Since a lossless line repeats every λ 2, traveling 2 3λ toward the generator is
equivalent to traveling 0 3λ toward the generator. This point is at A : Z-IN, and
Zin zin Z0 0 j3 08 50 Ω j154 Ω

(b) The admittance of a short is at point Y -SHORT and is at 0 250λ on the WTG
scale:
yin Yin Z0 j0 04 S 50 Ω j2

which is point B : Y -IN and is at 0 324λ on the WTG scale. Therefore, the line length
is 0 324λ 0 250λ 0 074λ. Any integer half wavelengths farther is also valid.

The load must have a reflection coefficient with θ r 60 . The angle of the reflection

coefficient is read off that scale at the point θ r . The intersection of the circle of
constant Γ and the line of constant θr is at the load, point Z-LOAD, which has a
value zL 1 15 j0 62. Thus,

ZL zL Z0 1 15 j0 62 75 Ω 86 5 j46 6 Ω

A 0 6λ line is equivalent to a 0 1λ line. On the WTG scale, Z-LOAD is at 0 333λ,
so Z-IN is at 0 333λ 0 100λ 0 433λ and has a value

zin 0 63 j0 29

Therefore Zin zin Z0 0 63 j0 29 75 Ω 47 0 j21 8 Ω.

Problem 2.43 Using a slotted line on a 50-Ω air-spaced lossless line, the following

Figure P2.45: (b) Solution of Problem 2.45.
Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.45(b). Since the 30-Ω resistor is in parallel with the input
impedance at that point, it is advantageous to convert all quantities to admittances.

and is located at point Z-LOAD. The corresponding normalized load admittance is
at point Y -LOAD, which is at 0 394λ on the WTG scale. The input admittance of
the load only at the shunt conductor is at 0 394λ 0 300λ 0 500λ 0 194λ and is
denoted by point A. It has a value of

yinA 1 37 j0 45

CHAPTER 2 71
The shunt conductance has a normalized conductance

g 1 67
30 Ω
The normalized admittance of the shunt conductance in parallel with the input
admittance of the load is the sum of their admittances:
yinB g yinA 1 67 1 37 j0 45 3 04 j0 45

and is located at point B. On the WTG scale, point B is at 0 242λ. The input
admittance of the entire circuit is at 0 242λ 0 300λ 0 500λ 0 042λ and is

denoted by point Y -IN. The corresponding normalized input impedance is at Z-IN
and has a value of
zin 1 9 j1 4

Thus,

Problem 2.46 A 50-Ω lossless line is to be matched to an antenna with
ZL 75 j20 Ω

using a shorted stub. Use the Smith chart to determine the stub length and the distance
between the antenna and the stub.
Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.46(a) and Fig. P2.46(b), which represent two different
solutions.

Z0 50 Ω
and is located at point Z-LOAD in both figures. Since it is advantageous to work in
admittance coordinates, yL is plotted as point Y -LOAD in both figures. Y -LOAD is at
0 041λ on the WTG scale.
For the first solution in Fig. P2.46(a), point Y -LOAD-IN-1 represents the point
at which g 1 on the SWR circle of the load. Y -LOAD-IN-1 is at 0 145λ on the
WTG scale, so the stub should be located at 0 145λ 0 041λ 0 104λ from the

load (or some multiple of a half wavelength further). At Y -LOAD-IN-1, b 0 52,
so a stub with an input admittance of ystub 0 j0 52 is required. This point is

Y -STUB-IN-1 and is at 0 423λ on the WTG scale. The short circuit admittance

and is at point Z-LOAD-2. Since at the junction the lines are in parallel, it is
advantageous to solve the problem using admittances. y 1 is point Y -LOAD-1, which
is at 0 412λ on the WTG scale. y2 is point Y -LOAD-2, which is at 0 088λ on the
WTG scale. Traveling 0 300λ from Y -LOAD-1 toward the generator one obtains the
input admittance for the upper feed line, point Y -IN-1, with a value of 1 97 j1 02.

Since traveling 0 700λ is equivalent to traveling 0 200λ on any transmission line,
the input admittance for the lower line feed is found at point Y -IN-2, which has a
value of 1 97 j1 02. The admittance of the two lines together is the sum of their

admittances: 1 97 j1 02 1 97 j1 02 3 94 j0 and is denoted Y -JU NCT .

0 300λ from Y -JU NCT toward the generator is the input admittance of the entire
feed line, point Y -IN, from which Z-IN is found.

CHAPTER 2 97
Z0 = 50 Ω ZL = (30 - j 20) Ω
(a) Calculate Γ and S.

(b) It has been proposed that by placing an appropriately selected resistor across the
line at a distance lmax from the load (as shown in the figure below), where l max is the
distance from the load of a voltage maximum, then it is possible to render Z i Z0 ,
thereby eliminating reflections back to the sending end. Show that the proposed
approach is valid and find the value of the shunt resistance.

Thus, at the location A (at a distance lmax from the load), the input impedance is
purely real. If we add a shunt resistor R in parallel such that the combination is equal
to Z0 , then the new Zin at any point to the left of that location will be equal to Z 0 .
Hence, we need to select R such that

To move along line 1, we need to normalize with respect to Z 01 . We shall call this zL1 :
Zin2 24 j18
zL1 0 24 j0 18 (point B on Smith chart 2)

After drawing the SWR circle through point B , we move 3λ 8 towards the generator,
ending up at point C on Smith chart 2. The normalized input impedance of line 1 is:
zin 0 66 j1 25

which upon unnormalizing becomes:

The normalized load impedance is:
25
zL 0 33 (point A on Smith chart)
75
The Smith chart shows A and the SWR circle. The goal is to have an equivalent
impedance of 75 Ω to the left of B. That equivalent impedance is the parallel
combination of Zin at B (to the right of the shunt impedance Z) and the shunt
element Z. Since we need for this to be purely real, it’s best to choose l such that
Zin is purely real, thereby choosing Z to be simply a resistor. Adding two resistors in
parallel generates a sum smaller in magnitude than either one of them. So we need
for Zin to be larger than Z0 , not smaller. On the Smith chart, that point is B, at a
distance l λ 4 from the load. At that point:
zin 3
which corresponds to
yin 0 33
Hence, we need y, the normalized admittance corresponding to the shunt
impedance Z, to have a value that satisfies:
yin y 1

y 1 yin 1 0 33 0 66

Problem 2.65 In response to a step voltage, the voltage waveform shown in the
figure below was observed at the midpoint of a lossless transmission line with
Z0 50 Ω and up 2 108 m/s. Determine: (a) the length of the line, (b) Z L ,
(c) Rg , and (d) Vg .

Solution:
(a) Since it takes 3 µs to reach the middle of the line, the line length must be
l 2 3 10 6 up 2 3 10 6 2 108 1200 m

(b) From the voltage waveform shown in the figure, the duration of the first
rectangle is 6 µs, representing the time it takes the incident voltage V1 to travel
from the midpoint of the line to the load and back. The fact that the voltage drops to
zero at t 9 µs implies that the reflected wave is exactly equal to V1 in magnitude,
but opposite in polarity. That is,
V1 V1

This in turn implies that ΓL 1, which means that the load is a short circuit:

ZL 0
(c) After V1 arrives at the generator end, it encounters a reflection coefficient Γ g .
The voltage at 15 µs is composed of:
V V1 V1 V2
