Figure P2.59: Solution of Problem 2.59.

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.59. The SWR circle must pass through S = 1.8 at point
SWR. A circle of this radius has
|| =

S1
= 0.29.
S+1

The load must have a reflection coefficient with r = 60 . The angle of the reflection
coefficient is read off that scale at the point r . The intersection of the circle of
constant || and the line of constant r 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 = (86.5 j46.6) .
A 0.6 line is equivalent to a 0.1 line. On the WTG scale, Z-LOAD is at 0.333 ,
so Z-IN is at 0.333 + 0.100 = 0.433 and has a value
zin = 0.63 j0.29.
Therefore Zin = zin Z0 = (0.63 j0.29) 75 = (47.0 j21.8) .
