(a) For any value of resistance R, capacitance C, and frequency , find the value impedance Z1 which makes the equivalent impedance of the circuit, Zeq, purely real. What is the value of Zeq in that case? (b) Is it possible to create the impedance Z1 in part (a.) with a shorted, lossless transmission line of characteristic impedance Z0 =R = 50, at frequency = 27106 Hz with C=1F? If not, provide a convincing argument. If so, what is the minimum line length l needed, in meters? You may assume that c=3108 m/s here. Q2. A lossless air-filled transmission line operating at f (Hz) is terminated with a load RL, and V(z) across the line is measured, as illustrated. Find out : (i) f(Hz) ? (ii) VSWR? (iii) Z0()?
