Open circuit 46.6 degrees of 600 ohm line attached to 80 degrees of 100 ohm line. The drive point impedance will be 0 ohms. And the impedance at the junction will be the same -j567. Using your arithmetic, there is 90-46.6-80 - -36.6 degrees of phase shift at the junction. The physical length is 126.6 degrees while the system is 90 "electrical degrees". Yes, you have just discovered that a 100 to 600 ohm impedance discontinuity *loses degrees* when the 600 ohm end is open. That's why a center-loaded mobile antenna takes more coil than a base-loaded mobile antenna. Think about it. Hint: if the stub is open, the low Z0 needs to be placed at the open end to make the stub physically shorter. If the stub is shorted, the high Z0 needs to be placed at the shorted end to make the stub physically shorter. You seem to be surprised at that. One wonders why? -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
