If the line has losses, the SWR circle becomes an SWR spiral but the spiral still crosses the purely resistive axis like the circle does, just not at the same points. Does your answer imply that the number of degrees between purely resistive crossings is not equal to 90 degrees when the line is lossy? (Not a trick question) After further thought, I think Roy's point is that a lossless transmission line has a purely resistive Z0 so the voltage and current are in phase every 90 degrees. Z0 is not purely resistive for ordinary transmission lines. But real-world distortionless lines are indeed lossy while possessing a purely resistive Z0. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
