1. The attenuation coefficient, phase constant, and characteristic impedance of a transmission
line are: 0 1 Np / m, 2 rad / m, and Z 40 . Assuming that 6 10 rad / sec ,
determine the transmission line parameters R, L, C, and G .
2. Using the T model of transmission line, derive the governing equation for the voltage and
current:
3. A 75-ohm resistive load is preceded by a /4 Section of a 50-ohm lossless line, which itself
is preceded by another/4 Section of a 100-ohm lossless line. What is the input impedance?
4. A lossless transmission line with a characteristic impedance of50 is terminated in a short
circuit ( 0 L Z ). Determine,

internal impedanceZ 50 . g Assuming that the line length is 5 cm and the load impedance
is Z 100 100 L j , determine (a) reflection coefficient at the load, (b) input impedance at
the input of the line, and (c) the voltage and current phasors at the input of the line.
