5.5 Terminated lines

Introduction to physical Page 1 / 1

This module looks at terminated transmission lines.

If, on the other hand, we have a finite line, terminated with some load impedance, we have a somewhat morecomplicated problem to deal with .

A finite terminated transmission line

There are several things we should note before we head off into equation-land again. First of all, unlike the transient problems we looked atin a previous chapter , there can be no more than two voltage and current signals on the line, just

V^{+}

and

V^{-}

, (and

I^{+}

and

I^{-}

). We no longer have the luxury of having

V_{1}^{+}

V_{2}^{+}

, etc. , because we are talking now about a steady state system . All of the transient solutions which built up when the generator was first connectedto the line have been summed together into just two waves.

Thus, on the line we have a single total voltage function , which is just the sum of the positive and negative going voltage waves

V x V^{+} β x V^{-} β x

and a total current function

I x I^{+} β x I^{-} β x

Note also that until we have solved for

V^{+}

and

V^{-}

, we do not know

V x

I x

anywhere on the line. In particular, we do not know

V 0

and

I 0

which would tell us what the apparent impedance is looking into the line.

Z_{in} Z 0 V^{+} V^{-} I^{+} I^{-}

Until we know what kind of impedance the generator is seeing, we can not figure out how much of the generator's voltage will becoupled to the line! The input impedance looking into the line is now a function of the load impedance, the length of the line,and the phase velocity on the line. We have to solve this before we can figure out how the line and generator will interact.

The approach we shall have to take is the following. We will start at the load end of the line, and in a manner similar to the one we usedpreviously, find a relationship between $V^{+}$ and $V^{-}$ , leaving their actual magnitude and phase as something to be determined later. We can then propagate the two voltages(and currents) back down to the input, determine what the input impedance is by finding the ratio of ( $V^{+} V^{-}$ ) to ( $I^{+} I^{-}$ ), and from this, and knowledge of properties of the generator and its impedance, determine what the actual voltagesand currents are.

Let's take a look at the load. We again use KVL and KCL ( ) to match voltages and currents in the line and voltages and currents in the load:

V^{+} β L V^{-} β L V_{L}

and

I^{+} β L I^{-} β L I_{L}

Doing kirchoff at the end of the line

Change variables!

Now, we could substitute

\pm V Z_{0}

for the two currents on the line and

V_{L} Z_{L}

for

I_{L}

, and then try to solve for

V^{-}

in terms of

V^{+}

using and but we can be a little clever at the outset, and make our (complex) algebra a good bit cleaner . Let's make a change of variable and let

s L x

S=0 at the load and so the exponentials go away!

This then gives us for the voltage on the line (using

x L s

)

V s V^{+} β L β L V^{-} β L β L

Usually, we just fold the (constant) phase terms

\pm β L

terms in with the

V^{+}

and

V^{-}

and so we have:

V s V^{+} β s V^{-} β s

Note that when we do this, we now have a positive exponential in the first term associated with

V^{+}

and a negative exponential associated with the

V^{-}

term. Of course, we also get for

I s

I s I^{+} β s I^{-} β s

This change now moves our origin to the load end of the line, and reverses the direction of positive motion. But , now when we plug into

β s

the value for

s

at the load (

s 0

), the equations simplify to:

V^{+} V^{-} V_{L}

and

I^{+} I^{-} I_{L}

which we then re-write as

V^{+} Z_{0} V^{-} Z_{0} V_{L} Z_{L}

This is beginning to look almost exactly like a previous chapter . As a reminder, we solve for

V_{L}

V_{L} Z_{L} Z_{0} V^{+} V^{-}

and substitute for

V_{L}

V^{+} V^{-} Z_{L} Z_{0} V^{+} V^{-}

From which we then solve for the reflection coefficient

Γ_{ν}

, the ratio of

V^{-}

V^{+}

V^{-} V^{+} Γ_{ν} Z_{L} Z_{0} Z_{L} Z_{0}

Note that since, in general,

Z_{L}

will be complex, we can expect that

Γ_{ν}

will also be a complex number with both a magnitude

Γ_{ν}

and a phase angle

θ_{Γ}

. Also, as with the case when we were looking at transients,

Γ_{ν} 1

Since we now know $V^{-}$ in terms of $V^{+}$ , we can now write an expression for $V s$ the voltage anywhere on the line.

V s V^{+} β s V^{-} β s

Note again the change in signs in the two exponentials. Since our spatial variable

s

is going in the opposite direction from

x

, the

V^{+}

phasor now goes as

β s

and the

V^{-}

phasor now goes as

β s

We now substitute in $Γ_{ν} V^{+}$ for $V^{-}$ in , and for reasons that will become apparent soon, factor out an $β s$ .

V s V^{+} β s Γ_{ν} V^{+} β s V^{+} β s Γ_{ν} β s V^{+} β s 1 Γ_{ν} 2 β s

We could have also written down an equation for

I s

, the current along the line. It will be a good test of your understanding of the basic equations we are developinghere to show yourself that indeed

I s V^{+} β s Z_{0} 1 Γ_{ν} 2 β s

why is communication effective

Dakolo Reply

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.

effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment

because it helps many people around the world to understand how to interact with other people and understand them well, for example at work (job).

Agreed 👍 There are many parts of our brains and behaviors, we really need to get to know. Blessings for everyone and happy Sunday!

Isn't practices worldwide, be it psychology, be it science. isn't much just a false belief of control over something the mind cannot truly comprehend?

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.

Amesalu Reply

nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills

What are the treatment for autism?

Magret Reply

hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities. before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these

Jharna

continue.. sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed. treatment for autism. well it depends on the severity. since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child

Jharna

child interact with other kids under doc supervision. play therapy. speech therapy. Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game. string and beads game. the more you interact with the child the more effective

Jharna

results you'll get.. please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child. and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid. but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
