SWR on line. The transmission line in Figure 15.31 is given. A general load (ZL = Z0 + jXL) is connected as shown in Figure 15.31. The shorted section is made of a different line with a different characteristic impedance Z1.
(a) Assuming the generator is matched, calculate the standing wave ratio on the line.
(b) What must be the length of the shorted line to ensure matching of the load (no reflection). Are there any other conditions that must be satisfied for this to happen?
