Q.1 Plot the bounce diagram for the transient circuit shown in the accompanying
figure. Include at least three reflections. What is the total voltage at the
midpoint of the line (𝑧 = 𝑙/2), at time 𝑡 = 3𝑙/𝑣𝑝 .
/vp
Q.2 Use the Smith chart to find the following quantities for the transmission line
circuit shown in the accompanying figure:
(a) The SWR on the line.
(b) The reflection coefficient at the load.
(c) The load admittance.
(d) The input impedance of the line.
(e) The distance from the load to the first voltage minimum.
(f) The distance from the load to the first voltage maximum.
Q.3 Use the Smith chart to find the shortest lengths of a short-circuited 75Ω line
to give the following input impedance:
(a) Zin = 0
(b) Zin =∞
(c) Zin = j75 Ω
(d) Zin = −j50 Ω
(e) Zin = j10 Ω
Q.4 Consider two two-port networks with individual scattering matrices [𝑆 𝐴 ] and
[𝑆 𝐵 ]. Show that the overall 𝑆21 parameter of the cascade of these networks is
given by:
𝐴 𝐵
𝑆21 𝑆21
𝑆21 = 𝐵 𝐴
1 − 𝑆11 𝑆22
Q.5 A load impedance 𝑍𝐿 = 100 + j80Ω is to be matched to a 75Ω line using a
single shunt-stub tuner. Find two designs using short-circuited stubs. Use smith
chart.
Q.6 A load impedance 𝑍𝐿 = 90 + j60Ω is to be matched to a 75Ω line using a
single shunt-stub tuner. Find two designs using open-circuited stubs. Use smith
chart.
Q.7 Write a MATLAB code to design a single shunt-stub tuner.
