Vr.g is the reflection of Vf from the load so it is a delayed version of Vr.l, the delay being another 45 degrees. The reflected voltage at the load is 25 /_ -45d Another 45 degrees makes it 25 /_ -90d by the time it gets back to the generator terminal. So the total voltage at the generator is Vg = Vf.g + Vr.g = 50 /_ 0d + 25 /_ (-45d -45d) = 50 /_ 0d + 25 /_ -90d = 55.902 /_ -26.565d Vg(t) = 55.902 cos(wt - 26.565d) OK, 55.902 /_ -26.565d is another way of expressing 50. I should have realized that identity. Sorry to have troubled you. [snip] Similarly for Ig and Ig(t) and Pg.avg and Pg(t). [snip] With the circuit and conditions presented, the reflected voltage and current return out of phase in time with the source voltage and current. *A standing wave condition of 3:1 would always exist throughout the system. Agreed, though it might be slightly more correct to say that there is a 3:1 VSWR on the transmission line. ...Keith -- 73, Roger, W7WKB |
