Topic: Electronics Engineering

Consider a transmission line of characteristic impedance 50 ohms and the line is terminated at one end by $+j50$ ohms, the VSWR produced in the transmission line will be

  • A. +1
  • B. zero
  • C. -1
  • D. infinity

Answer: D. infinity

Explanation: Reflection coefficient $(\rho) = \frac{Z_{L}-Z_{0}}{Z_{L}+Z_{0}} = \frac{j50-50}{j50+50}$
$|\rho|=1$ therefore $VSWR=\infty$
