Smith chart:
Smith chart is basically an impedance chart containing two sets of lines. The first set of lines of lines
referred to as constant resistance line from circle all tangent to each other at right hand end of horizontal
diameter. Each circle represent a fix resistance i.e. all these points on a particular resistance circle represent the
same resistance. The resistance which these represent are marked on the horizontal line (diameter) at the point
of intersection of these circle and horizontal lines. The outer most resistance circle cutting the horizontal line on
the left extreme represent zero resistance while the inner most or right extreme represent infinite resistance.
The center of horizontal diameter is labeled as 1. It may be noted that all impedance represented on this chart
have been normalized with respect to Z0. Ie.1 represent Z0Ω and so on. As an illustration while working out
transmission line problem, if Z0 is 50Ω. The resistance circle that passes through 2, represent a 100Ω circle and
in another problem where Z0 = 100Ω, same resistance circle represent a resistance of 200Ω.
There is a another set of lines called constant resistance lines, these lines are not complete circle like the
line of constant resistance but are arcs of complete circle. All tangent lines to each other on the right hand
extreme of horizontal diameter and also tangent to these lines.
Various transmission line parameter like the SWR, reflection coefficient (ρ), transmission line impedance
etc. Can be very conveniently and quickly determined from smith chart. The smith chart can be used as an
admittance chart also.

Standing wave ratios (SWR):
The ratio of maximum current to minimum current along a transmission line is called the
standing wave ratio. As it is the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage, which is equal to
current ratio.

The SWR is equal to unity when the load is perfectly matched. Thus, SWR is measure of the
mismatch between load and line.

Wave guide:
Wave are guided along or over conducting or dielectric surface. In a typical setup, there may be
an antenna at one end of a waveguide and some form of load at other end. The antenna
generates electromagnetic waves which travel through the waveguide to be eventually received
by the load. It is important to note that whole EM energy confined within wave guide and travel
along the free space of waveguide, not through the wall of waveguide.

Wave propagation in waveguide:

1. The propagation in this case is by means of guided waves.

2. In case of TE (transvered electric) wave, no electric field component exist in the direction of propagation.
3. In case of TM (transvered magnetic) wave, no magnetic field component can exist in the direction of
propagation.
4. The cut off frequency fc is the frequency below which wave propagation does not occur.

5. The which have lowest cut off frequency is called dominant mode. A linearly polarized
uniform wave must satisfy.

I) At every points in space to vectory E & H are perpendicular to each other and to the direction
of travel.
II) Each field have the same direction, magnitude and phase at all points in any plane
perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
III) The field vary harmonically with time at field frequency in space.

Comparison between Transmission line and Waveguide

1) Waveguide are simpler to manufacture than transmission line.

2) The power handling ability of waveguide is improved and is about 10 times as high as transmission line of similar
dimension.

 3) Power loss in waveguide is lower in comparison to that of the transmission line.
4) Waveguide can operate at higher frequency (325 GHz) than the transmission line (18 GHz).
5) Waveguide can propagate the wave in different mode but the transmission line cannot do it.

Tutorial Sheet No:1
1) Given the two vectors, rA = -ax-3ay-4az and rB = 2ax+2ay+2az and point C(1,3,4). Find:

a) RAB
b) |rA|
c) aA
d) aAB
e) a unit vector directed from C towards A

Solution:
We know that,
RAB = rB - rA = (2ax+2ay+2az) - (-ax -3ay -4az ) Therefore,
RAB = 3ax+5ay+6az

|rA| = ((-1)2 + (-3)2 + (-4)2) = 26 units.

rA = -0.1961 ax-0.588 ay-0.784 az

aA =
| rA |

aAB = ?

|RAB| = (32 + 52 + 62) = 8.366

Therefore,
R 3 a 5 a  6 a aAB

AB = x y z | RAB |

8.366

Therefore, aAB = 0.359 ax + 0.598 ay

+ 0.717 az

aCA = ?

position vector of C is rC
= ax + 3 ay + 4 az
Therefore, RCA = rA – RC = (- ax -3ay - 4az) – (ax +3ay +4az)
RCA = -2ax -6ay -8az
Now,

|RCA| = ((2)2  (6)2  (8)2) = 10.198

Therefore,
RCA -2 ax 6 ay -8 az
aCA = =
| RCA | 10.198

Therefore, aCA = -0.196 ax -0.588 ay -0.784 az

2) Given the vector field, F=0.4(y-2x)ax –[200/(x2+y2+z2)]az.

a. evaluate |F| at P(-4,3,5)
b. find a unit vector specifying the direction of F at P. Describe the locus of all
points for which :
c. |Fx| =1
d. |Fz| = 2.

Solution:
Here, F at P(-4,3,5) is
F = 0.4[3-2(-4)]ax –[200/(x2+y2+z2)]az
Therefore,
F = 4.4ax -4az
So, |F| = (4.4)2  (4)2
Or, |F| = 5.95

aF at P

We have
F
AF =
|F|
Therefore,
AF = 0.74ax -0.672az

Fx = 1, locus of points =?

Here,
FX = 0.4(y-2x) ax
So, |Fx| = 0.4(y 2x)
Or, 1 = 0.4(y 2x)
Squaring both sides,
Or, 0.4(y 2x) = 1

Solution by: Er.Om Prakash Pokhrel

Or, y – 2x = 2.5
Therefore, y=2x+2.5 is the locus of points.

|FZ| = 2, locus of points =?

Here, FZ = - [200/(x2+y2+z2)] az

Therefore, | FZ| = [200/(x2  y2  z2)] 2

Squaring both sides,
200

22 2 2

X  y z
(x2+y2+z2) = 100
This is the required locus of the points.

3) Given points A (2, 5,-1), B (3,-2, 4) and C (-2, 3, 1). Find:

a. RAB . RAC
b. The angle between RAB and RAC
c. The length of the projection of RAB and RAC
d. The vector projection of RAB and RAC

Solution:
RAB= (3-2) ax + (-2-5) ay + (4-(-1)) az
RAB=ax -7ay +5az
RAC=-4ax -2ay +2az

Angle between RAB and RAC

We have RAB . RAC = -4+14+10 = 20
Also, RAB . RAC = |RAB| |RAC| cos θ where θ is angle between RAB and RAC
Or, cos θ = 0.471

0
Therefore, θ = 61.87

The length of the projection of RAB on RAC

Here, |RAC| = (4)2  (2)2  22 = 4.9 units.

So, aAC = = -0.816ax -0.408ay +0.408az

Now, projection of RAB on RAC is
RP = |RAB| cos θ. 1 = RAB . aAC

Solution by: Er.Om Prakash Pokhrel
Distributed By: Kesharman Rawal \ [email protected] Page 9

Vector projection of RAB on RAC is

RP = RP . aAC

4) A triangle is defined by the three points, A(2,-5,1) , B(-3,2,4) and C(0,3,1) . Find:
a. RBC *RBA
b. The area of the triangle
c. A unit vector perpendicular to the plane in which the triangle is located.

Solution:
RBC = 3ax +ay - 3az
RBA = 5ax -7ay - 3az

RBC * RBA = ax {1(-3) – (-7) (-3)} -ay {3(-3) – (5) (-3)} +az {3(-7) – 5*1}
Therefore, RBC * RBA = -24ax -6ay +26az

We know that | RBC * RBA| gives the area of the parallelogram having two sides RBC and RBA. So, the area of the
triangle having two same sides is given by –
Area = ½(| RBC * RBA|) = ½( 242  62  262)
Hence, Area of triangle = 17.944 unit2

Here, let aR is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane in which triangle lies.

Also, the vector RBC * RBA is the perpendicular vector to the plane containing triangle.
RBC * RBA  24ax  6ay  26az
Therefore, aR = =
| RBC * RBA | 35.889
Hence, aR = -0.6687ax -0.167ay +0.724az
This is the required unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing the given triangle.

a. P to the origin
b. Q perpendicularly to the Z-axis
c. P to Q

Solution:
Here, P (ρ = 6, Φ = 1250, z = -3)
we have, x = ρ cosΦ = 6 cos125
= -3.441
Solution by: Er.Om Prakash Pokhrel
Distributed By: Kesharman Rawal \ [email protected] Page 10
y= ρ sinΦ = 6 sin125 = 4.915

Therefore, point P can be rewritten as P (-3.441, 4.915, -3)

So, distance OP = 3.4412 4.9152 32 Or, OP
= 6.708 units.

QR =?

We know the point Q(x=3, y=-1, z=4) touches the Z-axis at the point R (0, 0, 4). So, the distance QR is -
QR = 32 12 02
QR = 3.162 units.

PQ =?

PQ = (3.3.441)2  (14.915)2  (43)2
Hence, PQ = 11.2 units.

b. Find the density at P(-2,-5,1) if the density is e-z^2( 2+ρ3cos2Φ)

Solution:
Given, T = 240 + z2 –ρ2sin2Φ --------- (1) we

At point P (-2,-5, 1)
In cylindrical co-ordinates
Ρ = (2)2  (5)2 = 5.385 units
Φ = tan-1(-5/2) = 68.1980

– ay = sinΦ aρ + cosΦ aΦ
So, the given field can be written as-

Here
F = ρ cosΦ aρ
In Cartesian co-ordinates relation is given as
– x=ρcosΦ y=ρsinΦ z=z Also, we have – aρ

Relation between spherical and Cartesian co-ordinates is –

x = r sinθ cosΦ = 6 sin110 cos125 = -3.234 y = r sinθ
sinΦ = 6 sin110 sin125 = 4.618 z = r cosθ = 6 cos110 = -

distance to y=0 plane = 4.618 units.

PQ = (33.234)2 (14.618)2 (4 2.052)2

Solution:
We have,
Relation between spherical and Cartesian co-ordinates is –
x = r sinθ cosΦ y = r sinθ sinΦ
z = r cosθ

Therefore, T= 240 + r2cos2θ – 2(r2sin2θ sinΦ cosΦ)

Or, T = 240 + r2(cos2θ - r2sin2θ sin2Φ)

Here, density = re-r/2(5+cosθ+sinθ cosΦ)

At point P (-2,-5,1)
Changing to spherical coordinates r

So, the given field can be written as –

Now, P1P2 = -2ax -2ay +6az Unit vector of P1P2 is – a12 = -2ax
-2ay +6az / 4436 = -0.301ax -0.301ay +0.905az

Now the vector force acting on the –ve charge is given by –

F = -2.0454 (-0.301ax -0.301ay +0.905az )
Hence,
F =0.616ax +0.616ay – 1.848az

c) a charge Q1 = 2μC at P1 (0,0,0) and a charge Q2 = 3μC at P2 (-1,2,3)

Solution: Given,
charge Q1 = 2μC at P1 (0,0,0)
charge Q2 = 3μC at P2 (-1,2,3)

We have to find E at point M (3,-4,2)

Now,
P1M = 3ax -4ay +2az Unit
vector along P1M is
a1 = 0.557ax -0.742ay +0.371az

The value of E at point M due to charge Q1 is given as –

E1 = 345.72ax -460.55ay +230.27az V/m

Also, we have to find E at point M(3,-4,2) due to charge Q2

So, P2M = 4ax - 6ay - az a2 = 0.549ax – 0.824ay – 0.137az
Therefore,
Q2 3*106 *9*109
E2 = 2 a2 = (0.549ax – 0.824ay – 0.137az )
40r 53
E2 = 279.678ax -420ay -70az V/m

Now the total effect of M due to Q1 and Q2 is –

E = 625.4ax – 880.55ay +160.27az
