Consider the transmission line circuit shown below. Assume that the input impedance is given by Z_in = 250 Ohm. Using a Smith Chart, determine the load impedance, Z_L.

Solution

I will write the procedure, you can use that procedure and plot on smith chart

1) Plot the value of Z1 along with the VSWR curve

2) For calculating the ZL, move the smith chart towards load

3) When Moving towards the load impedance corresponds to a counter-clockwise movement on the Smith Chart

4) When Moving towards the generator transmitter/receiver corresponds to a clockwise rotation on the Smith Chart

5) For finding ZL , move to counter clock wise direction (L1=lambada/8)
