the question

Z0=50 % ohm
Zgen=50
Vgen=10 % Volt
ZL=100

syms lambda
alpha_dB=.5/lambda % [dB/lambda]
Np2dB=10*log10(exp(1)^2)
alpha_Np=alpha_dB/Np2dB

beta=2*pi/lambda % [m^-1]
L=2.3*lambda % length of transmission line [m]

gamma=alpha_Np+1j*beta
gamma_L=gamma*L
gamma_L_rad=double(gamma_L) % = 0.1323+14.4513i

sometimes for the complex propagation constant gamma, units Np/m and degree are mixed as done in the solutions manual for this exercise.

For this exercise the solutions manual shows gamma=.1325 +1j*108º. 108 degree is the remainder of imag(gamma_degree)/360

14.4513*180/pi-floor(14.4513*180/pi/360)*360

reflection coefficients on both sides of the transmission line

refl_Load=(ZL-Z0)/(ZL+Z0)
refl_gen=refl_Load*exp(-2*gamma_L_rad)

TL input impedance (from generator)

Zin=Z0*(ZL+Z0*tanh(gamma_L_rad))/(Z0+ZL*tanh(gamma_L_rad)

Results:

alpha_dB
=1/(2*lambda)
Np2dB
= 8.685889638065037
alpha_Np
=281474976710656/(4889721167171369*lambda)
gamma_L_rad
= 0.132398642847158 +14.451326206513048i


refl_Load
= 0.333333333333333

refl_gen
= -0.206936161907528 + 0.150347922208021i
Zin
= 31.588363022059227 +10.163454575205781i


TL input power

Pin=(abs(Vgen*Zin/(Zgen+Zin)))^2/(2*Z0*(1-(abs(refl_gen))^2)*exp(2*real(gamma_L_rad))
= 0.198382847405214


PLoad power reaching load

PLoad=(abs(Vgen*Zin/(Zgen+Zin)))^2/(2*Z0)*(1-(abs(refl_Load))^2)
= 0.144789944222718



Power loss

Ploss=Pin-PLoad
= 0.053592903182496



Comment 1: perhaps of use too, the maximum available power from generator:

Pmax_gen=.5*(abs(Vgen))^2/(4*real(Zgen))
Pmax_gen = 0.25

Alternatively


alpha_dB and alpha_Np are per meter.
alpha=double(alpha_Np*L)
= 0.132398642847158
Pout=Pin*exp(-2*alpha)
= 0.152231357248704

Error in the solutions manual: assumes that both generator and load both matched; generator to TL and TL to load. And then calculates V0plus


absV0plus_all_match=abs(Vgen/2*exp(-real(gamma_L_rad)))
= 4.379958588165586

It's reasonable to consider that V0plus =Vgen*Zin/(Zgen+Zin)*(exp(g_L)+refl_gen*exp(-gamma_L_rad)) should be used, 2.89a in [POZAR] pg81


Vin=Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen)*1/(exp(gamma_L_rad)+refl_gen*exp(-gamma_L_rad))
absVin=abs(Vin)

Vin
= 0.155584072758048 - 3.279133570422918i

absVin
= 3.282822471040817


would be the correct start voltage for the procedure followed in the solutions manual.

But because 2.92/93/94 are readily available, the answers have already been provided.

This Pin is the same as the above used

Pin=(abs(Vgen*Zin/(Zgen+Zin)))^2/(2*Z0*(1-(abs(refl_gen))^2)*exp(2*real(gamma_L_rad))
= 4.035947066681602



And it's not the other apparently correct

Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen)
abs(Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen))


Loss_dB=double(alpha_dB*L)
10*log10(Pin)-10*log10(PLoad)
= 1.367657186248119
10*log10(exp(2*alpha))
= 1.150000000000000




0.21 dB missing, the perturbation method is not exact


Generator and TL are matched, but TL and load are not. And it's not the other apparently correct

Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen)
= 3.965319190462363 + 0.751739611040107i
abs(Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen))
= 4.035947066681602



Comment: Zin with lossless TL would be

Zin_lossless=Z0*(ZL+1j*Z0*tan(imag(gamma_L_rad)))/(Z0+1j*ZL*tan(imag(gamma_L_rad)))
= 26.928588541323347 +11.871170407231441i



same as

Zin_lossless=Z0*(ZL+1j*Z0*tan(2*pi*2.3))/(Z0+1j*ZL*tan(2*pi*2.3))
= 26.928588541323329 +11.871170407231373i

g_L=g*L;g_L=double(simplify(g_L))

angle to run along TL: beta*L=pi rad means 360º around Smith Chart
so to match the imag(g_L) angle with Smith chart angle, double it.

N1=100
da=2*pi/N1 % angle differential for 2*pi around Smith Chart = lambda/2

amount_full_turns=floor(14.4513*180/pi/360)

Comment, possible error in solutions manual:
the value of tanh(gamma*L) does not correspond to tanh of the calculated gamma*L

It's actually increased by 1/exp(alpha*L) but it's not mentioned anywhere.

Comment, the following expressions shouldn't be used in this exercise because they are for lossless transmission lines only:

Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen)*1/(exp(1j*imag(gamma_L_rad))+refl_Load*exp(-1j*imag(gamma_L_rad)))

abs(Vgen*Zin/(Zin+Zgen)*1/(exp(1j*imag(gamma_L_rad))+refl_Load*exp(-1j*imag(gamma_L_rad))))


Vgen*Z0/(Z0+Zgen)*exp(-1j*imag(gamma_L_rad))/(1-refl_Load*refl_gen*exp(-1j*2*imag(gamma_L_rad)))

abs(Vgen*Z0/(Z0+Zgen)*exp(-1j*imag(gamma_L_rad))/(1-refl_Load*refl_gen*exp(-1j*2*imag(gamma_L_rad))))

Custom support functions I have used:

1.- Smith_plotRefLine2PhaseCircle.m

function a=Smith_plotRefLine2PhaseCircle(ax,Z,Z0,colour)
% plot reference line from origin through ZL to outer phase reference circle
% added color option with field colour [r g b] r,g,b within [0 1]

gamma_L=(Z-Z0)/(Z+Z0)

a=angle(gamma_L)
plot(ax,[0 real(exp(1j*a))],[0 imag(exp(1j*a))],'Color',colour,'LineWidth',1)

function input_checks

[szc1 szc2]=size(colour);
if szc1>1 || szc2~=3
disp('\ncolour wrong amount elements\n');
return;
end

if max(colour>1) || min(colour<0)
disp('\ncolour component(s) out of range\n');
return;
end

if numel(Z0)>1
disp('\nZ0 cannot be vector\n');
return;
end

Z=Z( : );
[sz1 sz2]=size(Z);
cas=1;
if sz2>1
cas=2;
end
end
end

2.- Smith_plotGammaCircle.m

function [x_data,y_data]=Smith_plotGammaCircle(ax,Z,Z0,colour)
% plot SWR circle, lossless TL
% color format [r g b] each ranging[0 1] where 0:white 1:black
input_checks;

gamma=z2gamma(Z,Z0);
r=abs(gamma);
alpha=0:2*pi/100:2*pi;
hold all;
sub_hp2=plot(ax,r*cos(alpha),r*sin(alpha),'-','LineWidth',.5,'Color',colour);

Is there a question here?

Or are you just posting solutions to random textbook problems for others to copy and turn in to get credit as their own work?

 

Hi WBahn

I am going through all exercises of the above mentioned literature reference. If time and licences available I am going to also include solutions with simulators like Genesys (Eesof) ADS (Agilent now Keysight) and others, to then compare.

It's good you have posted your question because it's made realize that perhaps best way to publish these MATLAB solutions is in my blog.

I am aware of the practice of adding a licence text file to free scripts only asking for the original author to be mentioned

In my opinion, this and other good-faith conventions don't work: I am the author, if some one claims credit
for my work, since I haven't filed for copyrights, it's up to the professors collecting plagiarism to detect it and act accordingly.

In your logo, the aircraft is an F22, isn't it?

A blog is a much better place for posting something like that. Posting in the forums here is not appropriate. We expect students requesting help with their assignments to show their best efforts so that we can help them discover their mistakes and misconceptions so that they can learn from them. Having solutions available here for them to just copy seriously undermines that philosophy.

The aircraft is an F-15 (which was called the Eagle, hence why F-15 maintenance personnel referred to ourselves as Eagle Keepers).

 

When I try a new entry in my blog, the following message appears:

please do you know someone with administrator level to fix this?

Ok, in that case 10 QA to enable blog, and then I will copy it all to the blog, and carry on there.

thanks Bertus
