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

• At low frequency, the impact is negligible• At high frequency, the impact is very significant

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.

Lumped- element model

• A transmission line is represented by a parallel-wire 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 resistance per unit length, in Ω/m

– L’ : the combined inductance of both inductor 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.

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,

• The load impedance, ZL

Where;

V0- = amplitude of reflected voltage wave

V0+ = amplitude of the incident voltage wave

= total current at the load

Z0 = characteristic impedance of the line

• And in case of a RL and RC series, ZL :

ZL = R + jL ; ZL = R -1/ jC

• 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.

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

= |V0+| for all values of z. zV

Standing Waves

• For a short-circuited load, (ZL=0), Γ = -1.

Input impedance

• The input impedance, Zin:

• Γ is the voltage reflection coefficient at the load.

• We shift the phase angle of Γ by 2βl, to get ΓL. This will match 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:

• 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.

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 impedance-matching 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.

YL=1/ZL

Yd = Y0+jB

• 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

• Thus, the main idea of shunt stub matching network is

• (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.
