This is the second of the three tutorial articles devoted to the frequency-domain analysis of a lossless transmission line. This article shows numerous methods of calculating the voltage, current, and input impedance at various locations on the transmission line, using the Circuit Model.
This article discusses the impact of a shunt inductive discontinuity along the line as well as the effect of feeding two transmission lines in parallel. The analytical results are verified through the HyperLynx simulations and laboratory measurements.
Foundations
Consider the transmission line circuit shown in Figure 1. A sinusoidal voltage source with its source impedance drives a lossless transmission line with characteristic impedance ZC, terminated in... Read More...
