If a pure resistance load, when connected to a lossless 75 ohm line, produce a VSWR of 3 on the line, then the load impedance can only be 25 ohms. True/False |

Answer» On a lossless line of R0 = 75Ω with resistance load RL VSWR = S = 3 S = RL/R0 if RL > R0 = R0/RL if RL < R0 RL = SR0 = 3 x 75Ω = 225Ω RL = R0/S if RL < R0 = 75/3 = 25Ω VSWR = (1 + |Γ|)/(1 - |Γ|), Γ = (RL - R0)/(RL + R0) for R0 = 75Ω, RL = 25Ω Γ = (RL - R0)/(RL + R0) = 150/300 = 1/2 |Γ| = 1/2 in either case and S = (1 + 1/2)/(1 - 1/2) = 3 The statement, the load impedance can only be 25Ω is FALSE |
