and the power transmitted over any cross sectional area A is
given by

av . The wave equation is used to get the solution of
propagating waves under any conditions. One of the mostessential types of propagating waves is the uniform planewave.
Propagation of Uniform Plane Waves
In a uniform plane wave, the fields have the samedirection, magnitude and phase in the plane of uniformityat any time t .
If the XY -plane is the plane of uniformity, then
0 y x
Using the div equation of D we get
From which it can be shown the Z -components of E mustequal to zero and similarly that of H is also zero.
This means that the electromagnetic fields are
totally confined to the plane of uniformity.

SOLUTION OF THE UNIFORM P LANE W AVE
Consider the XY -plane as the plane of uniformitywhich is called the transverse plane, hence the fieldshave components in general along X and Y -directions.Let the axes be rotated such that the total electric field isalong the X -direction.

Reflection And Refraction Of Plane Waves
Introduction
Consider an electromagnetic plane wave which is incident from aninfinite homogeneous dielectric medium at an angle i to the interfacewith another infinite homogeneous dielectric medium as shown in thefigure below. Upon this incidence, a part of the incident energy isreflected and another part is transmitted. The fields of the reflected andtransmitted waves are obtained by applying the boundary conditions atthe interface. These boundary conditions imply the equivalence of thetangential electric and magnetic fields at both sides of the interface. In thenext section, the case of normally incident plane wave is only considered.
Normal Incidence
Consider a normally incident plane wave with its electric field E parallel to the interface and directed to the x-axis as shown in the figure. It is
assumed that the interface between the two media is lying in the y-x plane. Therelative prmittivities of these media are assumed as r1 and r2 respectively. The

Surface ImpedanceThe boundary conditions at the interface imply the continuity of the
tangential electric and magnetic fields at the interface. Hence, the ratio betweenthese fields is also continuous at any interface. The surface impedance Z s at anylocation is imposed for this reason as the ratio between the total tangentialelectric and magnetic fields at this location as follows

Effect of Conductor Loss
When the two conductors which guide the wave along thetransmission line are not perfect conductors, an ohmic lossoccurs in the circuit.

The Voltage at Any Point Due to a Connected Source at
the Input Port of the LineCase 1: Matched Source (Z g =Z o )
Consider a transmission line whose length is and characteristicimpedance is Z o. The line is connected at its input to a source whose
voltage is V g and its internal impedance is Z o.The line output is connected
to a load impedance Z L.
7/27/2019 Tlines Third Year
66/122
65
The incident voltage oV at the input of the line is calculated on the basis
of dividing the source voltage between the line impedance Z o and the
source impedance which is also Z o in this case. Thus, the incident
voltage oV is given by
12
oo g g
o o
Z V V V
Z Z
The reflected voltage at the input of the line is calculated on the basis of
incident wave traveling to the load and then reflection an return back to
the input port. In this case, the reflected voltage wave can be expressed as
2o o LV V e
With oV and oV known, the voltage at any point can then expressed as
( 2 )1 ( )2

Another method to get the voltage at any point of the line is to obtain
first the input impedance of the line by the expression

the input voltage at the line is thus given by

while the input current is given by

With the knowledge of i iV and I then the voltage and the currents can be
obtained by any prescribed method.
Case 2: Unmatched Source (Z g Z o )
The line in this case is connected at its input to a source whose voltage
is V g and its internal impedance is Z g. The line output is connected to a
load impedance Z L.
The input voltage at the line is thus given by
ii g
i g
Z V V
Z Z
while the input current is given by

The other method using the concept of the incident and reflected waves
is explained as follows.
The incident voltage 1oV at the input of the line is calculated on the
basis of dividing the source voltage between the line impedance Z o and
the source impedance Z g. Thus, the incident voltage 1oV is given by
1o
o g o g
Z V V
Z Z
The reflected voltage 1oV at the input of the line is calculated on the basis
of incident wave traveling to the load and then reflection a return back to
the input port. In this case, the reflected voltage wave can be expressed as
21 1o o LV V e
Upon the arrival of 1oV at the input side of the line it reflects back towards the load with a reflection coefficient g since the sourceimpedance is not Z o. the back reflected voltage 2oV is expressed as
2 1o g oV V and it travels along the load side till it reaches the load then it
reflects with a reflection coefficient L. The result is an infinite terms of incident and reflected signals. The overall incident and reflected waves at
the input side oV and oV are given by

7) Calculation of Y from Z
The steps of calculating Y from Z are as follows
Locate z at P 1.
Rotate 180 and locate P 2.
Get y = g + jb
Get Y = y .Y 0 = y/ R0
If P 1 represents z at any point on the line, then P 2
represents Y at the same point on the line

8. Impedance Matching in Transmission Lines
Why is matching required?
To optimize the load power.
To decrease the line losses.
Why is matching preferred near the load?
For matching stability against frequency drift of the
source.
Methods of matching
Using a /4 matching section.
Using a single parallel stub.
Using a double parallel stub.

To achieve matching, the following relation should be
satisfied
Which means that
1 g bb s
The last condition means that the stub should be connected to
a point along the line where g=1. Therefore, we move along
the line (towards generator) by a distance d such that the real
part of y i equals 1.
These steps of matching are summerized as follows
Locate z L Locate y L by invertion
Rotate with constant radius | | clockwise
Intersect the circle g = 1

Why the S parameters are the most suitable ones inrepresenting networks at high frequencies?
Matched loads are used in the determination of the S parameters.These matched loads are relatively easier to realize than the openor short circuit which may caus4e instability specially, if activesources are included. When only the magnitudes of the S parameters are required, the
position of the reference planes at the input or the output ports arenot important.

The scattering parameters can be evaluated also from the currentrelations; however, these parameters are evaluated using moregeneral variables which are directly related to the power. Thisrepresentaion is put in the form
