Problem Set 4

This document contains instructions for three signal processing problems: 1) Solve textbook problems involving transmission lines. 2) Plot the load voltage and current over time for a transmission line connected to a pulse source and terminated by a load impedance. 3) Find the voltage and current waves on a transmission line that was initially charged to 10V and then short circuited at one end, with potential applications.

1. Solve problems 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.13, 2.14, 2.16 of the textbook [Ulaby/Michielssen/Ravaioli, 2010]. 2. A pulse source with the internal impedance of 10 ohm, generates a pulse waveform given by: V g (t ) 5 U (t ) exp[(t t 0 ) 2 / 2 ] [V] where t0 40 [ps] and 10 [ps]. The source is connected to a lossless TEM transmission line of a length of 5 [cm] with the parameters, u 100,000 [km/sec], and Z 0 50 [] . If the other end of line is terminated by a load impedance of 200 ohm, plot the load voltage and current over the time interval [0, 5 ns]. [Hint: Subdivide time into appropriate intervals, find the reflection coefficients at both ends and determine the voltage/current waves traveling back and forth. You can use simple Matlab code to sum up the wave amplitudes and plot the load voltage over the required time interval.] 3. Consider a lossless TEM transmission line of a length of 10 [cm] with the parameters, u 200,000 [km/sec], and Z 0 50 [] , open circuited at both ends. The line is charged by connecting one end to a 10 [V] dc power supply for sufficient time so that the voltage between two conductors reaches a steady state of 10 [V] over the entire length of line. The dc supply is then disconnected. At some later time, say t = 0, one end of the line, with the initial voltage of 10 [V] is short-circuited while the other end remains open. Find the voltage and current waves on the line. Can you think of some potential use for this experiment? [Hint: Note that the initial voltage on line is 10 [V] and the short circuit applies a negative step voltage at the input which propagates back and forth down the line.]
