An RF engineer wants to match a load impedance of ZL = 60 – j30 Ω to a 50 Ω line. Normalize the load impedance, plot it on the Smith Chart, and determine the required matching component if a shunt capacitor is used.
💡 Hint: Consider the shunt capacitor will provide negative susceptance.
Given a coaxial cable having Z0 = 75 Ω and analyzing a load of ZL = 45 + j15 Ω, calculate all necessary matching components using the Smith Chart.
💡 Hint: Find intersections and read lengths along the wavelength scales.
