General Considerations
• Transmission line – a two-port network
connecting a generator circuit to a load.
So…What is the use of
transmission line??
• A transmission line is used to transmit
electrical energy/signals from one point to
another
– i.e. from one source to a load.
• Types of transmission line include: wires,
(telephone wire), coaxial cables, optical
fibers n etc…
The role of wavelength
length of line, l
The impact of a transmission line
on the current and voltage in the
circuit depends on the:
frequency, f of the
signal provided by
generator.
• At low frequency, the impact is negligible
• At high frequency, the impact is very significant
Propagation modes
Electric field lines
Magnetic field lines
Transverse
electromagnetic
(TEM)
transmission lines
waves propagating along
these lines having electric
and magnetic field that are
entirely transverse to the
direction of propagation
Higher order

lines
waves propagating along these
lines have at least one significant
field component in the direction of
propagation

Lumped- element model
• A transmission line is represented by a parallelwire configuration regardless of the specific
shape of the line, (in term of lumped element
circuit model)
– i.e coaxial line, two-wire line or any TEM line.
• Lumped element circuit model consists of four
basic elements called ‘the transmission line
parameters’ : R’ , L’ , G’ , C’ .
Series element
Shunt element
Lumped- element model
 Lumped-element transmission line parameters:
– R’ : combined resistance of both conductors per unit length, in
Ω/m
– L’ : the combined inductance of both conductors per unit length,
in H/m
– G’ : the conductance of the insulation medium per unit length, in
S/m
– C’ : the capacitance of the two conductors per unit length, in F/m
• For example, a coil of wire has the property of
inductance. When a certain amount of inductance is
needed in a circuit, a coil of the proper dimension is
inserted

An air line is a transmission line for which air is
the dielectric material present between the two
conductors, which renders G’ = 0.
In addition, the conductors are made of a
material with high conductivity so that R’ ≈0.

50Ω and phase constant of 20 rad/m at 700MHz,
find the inductance per meter and the

selecting high conductivities and dielectric material, thus we assume :

Voltage Reflection Coefficient
• Every transmission line has a resistance
associated with it, and comes about because of
its construction. This is called its characteristic
impedance, Z0.
• The standard characteristic impedance value is
50Ω. However when the transmission line is
terminated with an arbitrary load ZL, in which is
not equivalent to its characteristic impedance (ZL
≠ Z0), a reflected wave will occur.
Voltage reflection coefficient
• Voltage reflection coefficient, Γ – the ratio of the
amplitude of the reflected voltage wave, V0- to
the amplitude of the incident voltage wave, V0+ at
the load.
• Hence,

Voltage reflection coefficient
• And in case of a RL and RC series, ZL :
ZL = R + jL ;
ZL = R -1/ jC
• A load is matched to the line if ZL = Z0 because
there will be no reflection by the load (Γ = 0 and
V0−= 0.
• When the load is an open circuit, (ZL=∞), Γ = 1
and V0- = V0+.
• When the load is a short circuit (ZL=0), Γ = -1
and V0- = V0+.
What is the difference between
an open and closed circuit?
• closed allows electricity through, and open doesn't.
• open circuit - Any circuit which is not complete is considered an
open circuit. The open status of the circuit doesn't depend on how it
became unclosed, so circuits which are manually disconnected and
circuits which have blown fuses, faulty wiring or missing
components are all considered open circuits.
• close circuit: A circuit is considered to be closed when electricity
flows from an energy source to the desired endpoint of the circuit. A
complete circuit which is not performing any actual work can still be
a closed circuit. For example, a circuit connected to a dead battery
may not perform any work, but it is still a closed circuit.

load consisting of a 50-Ω resistor in series with a

Standing Waves
• Interference of the reflected wave and the
incident wave along a transmission line creates
a standing wave.
• Constructive interference gives maximum value
for standing wave pattern, while destructive
interference gives minimum value.
• The repetition period is λ for incident and
reflected wave individually.
• But, the repetition period for standing wave
pattern is λ/2.
Standing Waves
• For a matched line, ZL = Z0, Γ = 0 and
~
V  z  = |V0+| for all values of z.
Standing Waves
• For a short-circuited load, (ZL=0), Γ = -1.
Standing Waves
• For an open-circuited load, (ZL=∞), Γ = 1.
The wave is shifted by λ/4 from short-circuit case.

VSWR
• Voltage Standing Wave Ratio
(VSWR) is ratio between the
maximum voltage an the
minimum voltage along the
transmission line.
• VSWR provides a measure of
mismatch between the load
and the transmission line.
• For a matched load with Γ = 0,
VSWR = 1 and for a line with
|Γ| - 1, VSWR = ∞.

Input impedance
• The input impedance, Zin:
1  e  j 2 l
Z in Z 0 
1  e  j 2 l
• Γ is the voltage reflection coefficient at the load.
• We shift the phase angle of Γ by 2βl, to get ΓL.
This will zL to zin. The |Γ| is the same, but the
phase is changed by 2βl.
• On the Smith chart, this means rotating in a
clockwise direction (WTG).
Input impedance
• Since β = 2π/λ, shifting by 2 βl is equal to phase
change of 2π.
• Equating: 2  l  2 2 l  2

• Hence, for one complete rotation corresponds to
l = λ/2.
• The objective of shifting Γ to ΓL is to find Zin at
an any distance l on the transmission line.

• A 50-Ω transmission line is terminated with
ZL=(100-j50)Ω. Find Zin at a distance l =0.1λ

Impedance Matching
• Transmission line is matched to the load when
Z0 = ZL.
• This is usually not possible since ZL is used to
serve other application.
• Alternatively, we can place an impedancematching network between load and
transmission line.
Single- stub matching
• Matching network consists of two sections of
transmission lines.
• First section of length d, while the second
section of length l in parallel with the first
section, hence it is called stub.
• The second section is terminated with either
short-circuit or open circuit.
Single- stub matching

YL=1/ZL

Yd = Y0+jB
Single- stub matching
• The length l of the stub is chosen so that its
input admittance, YS at MM’ is equal to –jB.
• Hence, the parallel sum of the two admittances
at MM’ yields Y0, which is the characteristic
admittance of the line.
Yd = Y0+jB
Single- stub matching
• Thus, the main idea of shunt stub matching network is
to:
• (i) Find length d and l in order to get yd and yl .
• (ii) Ensure total admittance yin = yd + ys = 1 for complete
matching network.

• Distance B and D is d2  0.322  0.115  0.207
