Assume all transmission lines are lossless

1. A 50 radio transmitter is connected to an antenna array feed using a 50

coaxial cable. The input impedance of the antenna array feed is 90 + j30 . If
the transmitter delivers 10 W when connected to a 50 load, how much power is
delivered to the antenna array feed?

2. Using the parameter definitions, derive the [ABCD] parameters for a section of
lossless transmission line (parameters Zo, l, ). Convert these to the [S]
parameters using the parameters conversion formulas.

3. Using the combined SC, design a 2 element lossless lumped L circuit to match
zL = 1.8 + j0.3 to zo = 1. Repeat but instead tune an impedance of zo = 1 to
zL = 1.8 + j0.3 (ie: go the other way, as discussed in class). Do you get the
same solution as above?

4. Match ZL = 200 - j160 to Zo = 100 . Use a single open-circuit shunt stub

tuner with the shortest possible stub.
5.

for part (b), the balanced form of shunt stubs is shown below. For circuit (a),
assume the balanced stub Zos are the same as the single stub; for circuit (b),
assume the balanced stub lengths are the same as the single stub.
