  2. Voltage amplitude |V| l/4 Vmax Vmin x x = 0 Zo ZL The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is defined as: VSWR = Vmax / Vmin Like ρ, the VSWR is a measure of the mismatch between ZL and Zo.

  3. Hence the distance between neighbouring maxima and minima is lmax - lmin = p/2b But b = 2p/l, hence the distance between a voltage maximum and the adjacent voltage minimum is l/4 l/4 lmax Vmax Vmin lmin x N.B. l is the wavelength of the travelling waves that are giving rise to the standing wave pattern – it is NOT the wavelength of the standing wave.

  4. Voltage amplitude |V| l/4 Vmax Vmin Current amplitude | I | x x = 0 l/4 Imax Imin Impedance magnitude |Z| |Z|=|V| / | I | x x = 0 l/4 Zmax Zmin x x = 0

  5. l/4 lmax Vmax Vmin lmin x VOLTAGE STANDING WAVE MEASUREMENT The voltage standing wave pattern on a transmission line can be measured using a "slotted line": V voltage probe ZL V E x = 0 The probe enables the voltage (strictly the E field) to be measured at any point along the slot cut in the outer skin of the line. If the slot is narrow it will not affect the properties of the line or cause reflections.

  6. From measurement of Vmax / Vmin we can obtain the magnitude of r: VSWR =Vmax / Vmin = => |r| = (VSWR - 1) (VSWR + 1) The phase of r can be found from the positions of the voltage maxima and minima, lmax and lmin. At the first voltage maximum: f - 2blmax = 0 => f = 2blmax = 2(2p/l) lmax radians or f = 2blmax = 2(lmax /l) x 360 degrees

  7. The wavelength l can be determined since the distance between a neighbouring maximum and minimum is l/4: |lmax - lmin| = l/4 Knowing r, the load impedance ZL can be found:

  9. THE SMITH CHART • Devised in 1944 by Philip H. Smith, Bell Labs, U.S.A. • A graphical aid for transmission line calculations. • Used nowadays for designing “matching” circuits and displaying RF data. Philip Smith: 1905-1987

  10. l ZL Load Transmission line, Zo Generator The Smith Chart basically enables you to convert between  and Z graphically, either at the load or at an arbitrary point down the line.

  15.  ZL To avoid having to use a different Smith Chart for every value of Zo, the normalised impedance, z , is used: z = ZL/ Zo The normalised impedance z can then be “denormalised” to obtain the load impedance ZL by multiplying by Zo: ZL = z.Zo In terms of its real and imaginary components, the normalised impedance can be written as: z = r + jx

An additional phase change of -2blhas been added by the introduction of the length of line,l .

Read z-l from chart: z-l = 1.75-j0.45 72º 2. Plot zL on Smith Chart z-l 5. Denormalise to find Zin: Zin = Zo x z-l = 75(1.75-j0.45) = 131-j34 Ω (cf. 126-j36 Ω by exact calculation) Zo = 75 Ω ZL = 100 + j50 Ω l = 2.2 m, f = 100 MHz v = 2 x 108 ms-1

  39. Summary The Smith Chart is used as a graphical aid for converting between a load impedance, Z, and a reflection coefficient,. (This can be done with or without sections of line being present.)  ZL

  40. To avoid having to use a different Smith Chart for every value of Zo, the normalised impedance, z, is used: • z = ZL/Zo • (z = r + jx) • z can then be denormalised to obtain the load impedance ZL, by multiplying by Zo: • ZL = z.Zo

  41. The circles correspond to lines of constant normalised resistance, r. • The arcs correspond to lines of constant normalised reactance, x. r = 0 1 0.5 2 0.4 0.2 0 -0.2 -0.4 x = X/Zo 3 0.2 5 x = 0 10 x r = R/Zo 0 0.2 0.5 1 2 3 5 10 r 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 0 -10 -5 -0.2 -3 -2 -0.5 -1 Complex Impedance Plane Smith Chart

  42. Adding a length, l, of lossless line to a load, ZL, corresponds on the Smith Chart to rotating at constant radius from zLCLOCKWISE through an angle 2l. (“CLOCKWISE TOWARDS GENERATOR”) • If the line is not lossless, the radius decreases as we rotate around the centre. • Increasing the signal frequency causes z-l to rotate clockwise around Smith Chart at constant radius.
