1. A lossless transmission line has a characteristic impedance of 𝑍0 = 60Ω and the load
at the end of the line has an impedance of 𝑍𝐿 = 45 + 𝑗95Ω. Using the Smith Chart,
find:

a. Reflection coefficient Γ (magnitude and phase), and the VSWR.

b. The input impedance if the line is 0.75𝜆 long.
c. The length of the line, necessary to make the input impedance real and the value of
the impedance in this point.

SOLUCION

Normalizing the load impedance 𝑍𝐿 .

𝑍𝐿 45 + 𝑗95Ω
𝑍𝑁 = = = 0,8 + 𝑗1,6
𝑍0 60Ω

We place the previous value in Smith's Letter, we draw a straight line that starts in 1.0 and
go through 𝑍𝑁 = 0,8 + 𝑗1.6 The straight line is extended until you cut the peripheral circle,
we can read the "Origin of 𝑍𝑁 Which in this case is

𝒁𝑵 = 𝟎. 𝟏𝟕𝟐  𝐋

At this moment we draw a circle, centered on 1.0 and passing through 𝒁𝑵 . This circle
intersects the horizontal axis, on the right side at point 6.0. This value is the system VSWR.

𝐕𝐒𝐖𝐑 = 6,0
To determine the value of de 𝑍𝑥 = 0.75 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔, a distance of 0.75 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 Long can be
moved over the peripheral circle from Z_ (N) and we arrive at the point 0.424  LongA
straight line is drawn that starts at en 0.424  𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 and reaches the center of the chart
at 1.0, the intersection with the VSWR circle determines the value of 𝑍𝑥 = 0.75 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔.

0.172  Long + 0.75 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 = 0.924 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔

Because a distance of. 0.5𝜆 is a complete return to the Charter, the integer multiples of. 0.5𝜆
of the value obtained, in this case:

0.924 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 − 0.5 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 = 0.424 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔

𝑍 0.75 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 = 0.5 − 𝑗0.25

The previous value is normalized; therefore, the real value will be:

𝑍𝑥  0.75 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔   0.5  𝑗 0.25  60  𝟑𝟎  𝒋 𝟏𝟓 

The reflection coefficient is read directly from Smith's Letter. The following is done: a
vertical straight line is drawn, which starts at the intersection of the VSWR circle and the
horizontal axis on the right side and ends in parameters of the radial scale. In this scale we
obtain the magnitude and the phase is on the peripheral circle, graduated in degrees.

we have that the coefficient of reflection has the value:
