Although we know that the 200 ohm line is longer, there is no

The phase shift at the impedance discontinuity depends
upon the *ratio of Z0High/Z0Low*. The following two
examples have the same phase shift at the impedance
discontinuity.
Z0High Z0Low
---43.4 deg 600 ohm line---+---10 deg 100 ohm line---open
---43.4 deg 300 ohm line---+---10 deg 50 ohm line---open
So how long does the 600 ohm line have to be in the following
example for the stub to exhibit 1/4WL of electrical length?
---??? deg 600 ohm line---+---10 deg 50 ohm line---open
Based on what you say above, Zo high/Zo low = 6 resul;ts in 37 degrees.
Then for phase shift, (Zo high/Zo low)*37 deg = 6*D where D = phase shift.
If the above ratio is literally true, then in the above example, 12*37deg/6
= 74 degrees and length of the 600 ohm line = 90-74-10 = 6 degrees.
However, I would like to find a reference for the math showing the
characteristic impedance ratio relationship with phase shift. I am reluctant
to accepting formulas without seeing them derived at least once. :-)
Looks like you got the Z0 ratio upside down?
Actually I get 25.3 degrees for the 600 ohm line.
Arctan(Z0Low/Z0High)cot(10)) = 25.3 degrees
