Cecil, W5DXP posed a problem in which a transmitter seeking a 50-ohm
load (I suppose) is attached to 1 WL of 50-ohm cable which is attached to 1/4-wave of 300-ohm feedline which is attached to an 1800-ohm load. Cecil wrote: "Destructive interference on the XMTR side of "+" (where 50-ohm cable meets the 300-ohm Q-matching section) eliminates the reflections." It seems to me, the product of 50 (the cable Zo) and 1800 (the load Z) is 90,000. The sq.rt. of 90,000 is 300 (the Q-section impedance). The numbers are right, so in my opinion, the Q-section converts the 1800-ohms to 50-ohms. This is the 50-ohms likely prescribed for the transmitter`s load. The 50-ohms presented by the Q-section to the cable should result in a match and thus there should be no reflected energy in the 50-ohm cable to cause interference. The reflections should all be in the 300-ohm Q-section. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
