Calculate the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) and voltage reflection coefficient () if a transmission line with characteristic impedance is connected to an antenna load impedance :
Multiple Choice Options
- A✓ Correct Option
SWR = 1.5, Reflection coefficient = 0.2
- B
SWR = 2.0, Reflection coefficient = 0.5
- C
SWR = 3.0, Reflection coefficient = 0.6
- D
SWR = 1.8, Reflection coefficient = 0.3
Detailed Technical Solution & Explanation
Let us compute the parameters step-by-step:
1. Reflection Coefficient ($\Gamma$):
2. Standing Wave Ratio (SWR):
(Alternatively, for purely resistive loads where , ).
Thus, and .
