Open and Short-Circuited Lines
The voltage and current at any point ina transmission ine are
dependent on the load at the end of the line and on the distance of
the points frem rae load. Since the impedance at any point is the ratio
‘of the voltage to the current a: that point, the impedance then must
also be dependent of the load and the distance from it. Thus in any
‘wansmission line the load, é.¢. the termination establishes the current
and voltage relations ; while the relation at the generator terminals
determines the input impedance
‘Therefore, various ways in which the voltage and current may
be distributed along a transmission line can be understood by con-
sidering in detail the following significant cases of the load :
(i) when the load end ic. the terminating ead is open,
}) when the load endl is shorted and
) when the load is equal to the characteristic impedance.
Open-circuited line is defined as a transmission Line whose far
end, i.e. the terminating ead is open. Similarly short-circuited line
is defined as a transmission line whose far ead is shorted.
Both the open-circuited line and short-circuited line can
be arranged by proper choice of the line length to act as series
resonant or parallel resonant or any desired value of reactance eiz.
inductance and capacitance. In U.HLF. range, however, these lines
length are appreciably small ard thus find considerable’ appiication
as
Teactance etc. These short lengths of the line are commonly
termed as stubs.
‘The use of short-circuited stubs as variable reactances is a
common high frequency technique. Open-circuited stubs are rarely
used because it is difficult to vary their length: and because of
radiation losses at the open ends
21. Reflected and Incedenc Waves
As already explained in chapter 1 when the load, ie. the
termination is equal to the characteristic impedance of a transmission
line, it is equivalent to an infinite line. Therefore, all the energy
sent down the line is completely absorbed by the load and no reflec-36. TRANSMISSION LINES AND NETWORKS,
tion takes place. However in dealing with open and short-circuited
lines, all the energy sent down the line is reflecced back because there
is no resistance at the terminating end to absorb it. It ic, therefore,
necessary to examine the result of reflected energy, in order to
analyse the voltage and current distribution along the open and shor(-
circuited lines.
“Voltage and current at any point of a transmission line has
already been given by Eq. (1°39).

The voltage and current existing in a transmission Lune as given
by above equations can be conveniently expressed as the sum of the
voltage and current of two waves ciz. be~** and aeP*
The first term be—P* in each of the above. equations represents
a voltage or current componen: of 2 travelling wave decreasing
exponentially due to factor e~?* in the direction of x increasing, i.e.
towards the load. This wave is called the incident weve because it
is incident on the load, Thus, the term be—P* represents the net
sum of all individual waves that travel to the load.
Similarly, the second term ae* in each of the above equations
represents a wave similar to the first but travelling in opposite
direction. ‘This wave is called the reflected wave and is generated
at the load by the reflection of the incident wave. Thus, the term
acs represents the sum of all waves that :ravel away from the load,
because the distance x will be negative as it is now measured in the

confirm to earlier statements of no reflection in an infinite line or a
finite line terminated in its characteristic impedance.
22. Standing Waves in Open and Short-Circuit Lines
As explained in Art. 2'1, there will be two waves travelling in
opposite directions between the input end-and the load end. At
some points in the line the two wavés will always be in phase and will
add. while at other points tlie nwo waves will always be out of phase
and will cancel. The places where the two waves add will be point
of maximum voltage and is termed anti-nodes, while the points of
cancellation will have minimum-voltage and is termed nodes. In the
case of open and short-circuited line, since complete reflections takes
place, the cancellation is complete and the voltage minimum in zero.
Since the positions of maxima and minima or anti-nodes and nodes
voltage remain motionless, a standing wave is said to exist on the
line: r

‘the open ended termination of this line there exist a maximum
voltage and a minimum (nearly zero) current. Therefore, impedance
at the open end will be infinite. A quarter-wavelength from the
open end, the incident wave will be 90° earlier and the reflected
wave 90° later they are at the end, and thus will be 180° out of phase.
At this point the voltage will be zero. ©
Similar reasoning shows that the standing wave pattern is
repeated every half-wave lengths, that is, maxima are spaced half-38 TRANSMISSION LINES AND NETWORKS
wavelength apart on the transmission line and minima are also spaced
half a wavelength apart. The distance between a maximum and
minimum is a quater wavelength. ‘The current maximum occurs at
a point of voltage minimum and vice versa.
‘The current and voltage distribution along the open-circuited
line as shown in Fi In a high frequency lossless line the values
of the different maxima are equal as shown in Fig. 2-2 (a) ; however
in a lossy line, these go on decreasing due to attenuation of the line
as shown in Fig. 2-2 (6). :
(ii) Short-circuited lines~, Access the short-circuited end between
the two transmision line wires there can be no voltage difference,
but there will be a maximum current flow. Therefore, at the short-
circuited termination, the current is maximum, the voltage is zero
and impedance wi'l also be zero. The. standing waves thus has a
node or minimum at the short-circuited end and at every half-wave-
length from the end. :
Voltage and current distributions here differs from the distribu-
tions of the open-circuited case only in that voltage and current are
interchanged. That is, with short-circuited load the voltage on the
line goes through minima at distances from the load that are even
multiples of quater wavelength and through maxima at distance
that are odd multiple of a quarter wavelength.
‘The voltage and current distributions along short-circuited lines
are shown in Fig. 2-3. In a lossless line the distribution is as shown

23. Input Impedance of Open and Short Circuited Lines
Input impedance of an open-circuited line is tie impedance
measured at the input of a finite length of line when its far end is
open as shown in Fig. 2-4 (a). It is normally denoted by Zse.

Similarly, input impedance of a short-circuited lines is the impedance
measured at the input end of finite length of line when its far end
is shorted. It is usually denoted byZ,e, as shown in Fig. 2-4 (6).
Consider a length of line J, having far end voltage and current «

Thus, Zee and Zye as expressed by Eqs. 2°2 (a) and 2°2 (U) will each
become to Zs. itis, therefore, proved again that input impedance
of an infinite line is its characteristic impedance (Ref. Art. 1°6).

calculated from the measured values of Zoe and Zs of a known
length of line. Having obtained the’ values of secondary line
constants Z, and P, the values «f primary line constants R, L, @

in worked out examples.

of Zee with Bl or t, while regular lines shows the variation of Zee
with Bl or J. Above the horizontal line shows the length of line L
in terms of wavelength, while below the horizontal line shows the
electrical length of line $l in terms of x. Again, above the horizontal
line the value of Zee and Ze will have positive reactance that is
inductive, while below the horizontal line the value of Zee and Zye
will have negative reactance that is capacitive.
Therefore, Zee and Zee assumes all possible reactive values
ranging from positive infinity to negative infinity as fl varies from
0 tom, as the length of the line is varied from zero to half wave-
length at a given frequency.
Considering the variation of Zs. only, parallel resonance or
anti-resonance with theoretically infinite impedance occurs when l
is an odd multiple of x/2 and series resonance or resonance with
theoretically zero impedance occurs when Bl isan even multiple of
x/2. ‘The graph from Bl=0 to fl=n (omitting the variation of Zee
that is dotted line) has the same general form as the reactance curve
of a parallel lumped L C circuits when frequency is varied.
Similarly, considering the variation of Zee only, parallel
resonance occurs when Bl is an even multiple of n/2 and_ series
reasonance occurs when Bl is odd multiple of /2. The graph from42 TRANSMISSION LINES AND NETWORKS
BI=0 to Sl=x (omitting the variation of Zee that is regular line) has
the general form as the reactance curve of series lumped L-C circuit,
when the frequency is varied.
Further more, short and open-circvited stubs having length
less than 4/4, value of Zee will be positive, ie. inductive reactance
while value of Zee will be negative, ¥.¢. capacitive reactance. Similar-
ly, short and open circuited stubs‘of length between A/4 to A/2 the
reactance of Zye will be capacitive while reactance of Zee will be
inductive.
The result obtained in Fig: 2-5 hold for all frequencies. The
theory is perfectly general} but, at low frequencies and long
wavelengths, it is not possible to obtain reasonable lengths to simulate
a complete reactance variation, At high frequencies or short wave-
lengths, ic is rather simple to obtain the complete reactance varia-
tions with manageable length cf line.
26. Experimental Determination of Primary and Secondary
Line Constants
It has already been explained in Art. 24 that primary and
secondary constants of a transmission line can be computed from the
knowledge of Zee and Zsc. These quantities can be found by measure-
ment of the input impedance of the line under two conditions :
(i) with the far end of the line shorted and
(ii) with the far end of the line open.
‘The input impedance of a line is normally determined by an
4.C. Bridge (WIEN) as shown in Fig. 2-6. The input end of the

In order to find the value of Zee, the far end is open-circuited

say it is Zee/$se. Similarly, in order to determine the value of Zee,
the far end is now shorted for a definite period and Ziw is deter-
mined again as. Zrelbse-

it should be disconnected after intimation to the concerned staff.
(d) Maintenance staff likely to handle the line should be
warned about the test timings.
(e) The test should be taken at the line commutator, cutting
out all internal wiring and other equipments.
(i) Experimental determination of Zee. After determining the
value of the input impedance of open and short circuited line by
an A.C. Wein’s bridge the value of Z, can be easily determined
from Eq. (2°3 a) by substituting the values of Zee and Z« there in.

As a measure of check, after Z, is calculated, the far end is
asked to connect this value of Z, and thus the value of Ziw-is com-

impedance of a line termined in its characteristice impedance Zo.
(ii) Experimental determination of P. After obtaining the
values of Zee and Z,e by an A.C. bridge, the propagation constant P

shown above that P can be determined with the knowledge of Zee

the imaginary part of P will give the phase constant 8. Thus, from
Eq. (2°8), we get

The problem now is to assign a suitable value for n in order to
obtain the desired value of B. This can be done if approximate
velocity of propagation is known.46 TRANSMISSSON LINES AND NETWORKS

approximate vaule of B can be found out from the relation,

‘After obtaining the approximate value of B, the corresponding value

Line with Any Termination
So far we have discussed three modes of termination viz., line
* terminated in its characteristic impedance, short and open-circuited
termination. In this chapter we will deal with the fourth mode of
termination, i.e. the termination Zr, other than the characteristic
impedance of the line. This type of termination is normally referred
as line with any termination. Obviously open-circuited and short-
circuited terminations becomes the particular cases of the line with
any termination when Zg=oo and Zx=0 respectively.
When a voltage is applied to a transmission line, it originates
an incident wave and there is no reflected wave if the line is infinite
‘or is terminated in its characteristic impedance as already i
in earlier chapter. However, when a line is terminated with any
impedance Zz, part of the energy will be absorbed and part of it
will be reflected back. Therefore, line with any termanition ga
case of partial refiection while open and ‘short-circuited termination
are the cases of total reflection.
‘The input imy ce of a_long line with losses having any
termination can safely be considered to be the characteristic impe-.
dance of the line and is independent of the terminating i ipedance
2x. The reason for this is that when attenuation is of much i-
tude, the reflected wave becomes negligible compared to the incident
wave and the input impedance is simply the ratio of the voltage to
the current in a single (incident) wave. In contrast the input impe-
dance of short lines with high loss is determined by the terminating i
impedance Ze and is independent of its characteristic impedance.
Tn practical communication lines the termination Zz is of very
much importance because unless Zr'is the conjugate complex of the
source impedance maximum power is not transferred to Zz and there
is a power loss. The magnitude of this power loss can be assessed
oe the ames of reflection taking place. This will be discussed in
letail later.

Eq. (3:5) are important in the study of transmission line
theory and. should be memorised by heart. Several results which
fheory ready been obtained otherwise can be derived easily from
Eq, (3°5 b).. Several more restilts which will be derived later will
use Eq. (3°5) as the basis.

‘A transmission line is said to be perfectly matched to the load
or properly terminated when it is terminated by its characteristic
{npedanee. For such line the input impedance is simply the
areeacteristic impedance of the line itself. However, if Zx7Z», the
input impedance may have a wide range of values.
33. Input Impedance of a Lossless Line
Input impedance of a lossless line (.e., high frequency line) of
any length can, of course be found from Smith chart (which will be
described later) where it will be shown.that its locus for neligible
losses simply follows a circle of constant reflection coefficient. For
some purposes it is, however, convenient to have a formula for the
input smpedance, perhaps to obtain better accuracy than be realised
grapically by Smith chart.

data given.
34. Reflection
Reflection of energy occurs when there is an impedance: ir-
regularity, ¢.e. when the primary constants of the transmission line
are not uniform along the line ; or the terminated impedance at the
far end is different from Z, of the line assumed to be uniform.
‘The phenomenon of setting up of a reflected wave at the load
due to improper termination or due to impedance irregularity in a
line is called reflection.
The reflection takes place because the ratio of electric field
and magnetic field on both the sides of terminals boundary must be
the same under all conditions. The condition will be satisfied by
the addition of reflected wave to the incident wave.70 TRANSMISSION LINES AND NETWORKS:
Reffection is normally undesirable on transmisson line. If
the attenuation is not large the reflected wave appears as echo at the
tending end. In addition there is a reduction in efficiency and
Sutput because a portion of the received.energy is rejected back by
the load.
The reflected wave is reflected again at the sending end,
resulting in.a new incident wave. The energy is thus transmitted
back and forth on the line until dissipated in the line losses.
& The reflection will be rhaximum when the line is open or short
circuited and will be zero when Zr=Zo-
3°5. Reflection Coefficient
Reftection coefficient is defined as the ratio of the reflected
voltage to the incident voltage. It is normally denoted by K.
Reflection coefficient is, in general a vector quantity having
magnitude and direction both.
In fact, dealing with the voltage the ratio is called Voltage
Reflection Coefficient abbreviated as V.R.C. Similarly in dealing
with the current the ratio of the reflected current to the incident is
tilled current reflection coefficient. The only difference between
the two is that current reflection coefficient is the negative of voltage
reflection coefficient.
Let Viand V; be the incident and reflected voltage respec:
tively.

Reflection coefficient is a measure of the voltage a current
reflected from any point in a transmission line due. to an mpedanc.e
irregularity, or from the receiving end due to improper itermination
