Some relevant notes on double stub matching.

Just a few odds and ends. Consider the following which is called a "cascaded line" problem. These are problems where we have two differenttransmission lines, with different characteristic impedances. Since we will give all of the distances inwavelengths,λ, we will assume that theλwe are talking about is the appropriate one for the line involved. Ifthe phase velocities on the two lines is the same, then the physical lengths would correspond as well. The approach isrelatively straight-forward. First let's plot Z L Z 0 on the Smith Chart . Then we have to rotate 0.2 λ so that we can find Z A Z 0 1 , the normalized impedance at point A, the junction between the two lines .

Cascaded line

Smith diagram

Thus, we find Z A Z 0 1 0.32 0.6 . Now we have to renormalize the impedance so we can move to the line with the new impedance Z 0 2 . Since Z 0 1 300 Ω , Z A 96 -180 . This is the load for the second length of line, so let's find Z A Z 0 2 , which is easily found to be 1.9 -3.6 , so this can be plotted on the Smith Chart . Now we have to rotate around another 0.15 λ so that we can find Z in Z 0 2 . This appear to have a value of about 0.15 -0.45 , so Z in 7.5 -22.5 Ω .

Even more smith charts

There is one application of the cascaded line problem that is used quite a bit in practice. Consider the following: We assumethat we have a matched line with impedance Z 0 2 and we connect it to another line whose impedance is Z 0 1 . If we connect the two of them together directly, we will have a reflection coefficient at thejunction given by
Γ Z 0 2 Z 0 1 Z 0 2 Z 0 1

Simplified cascaded line

Now let's imagine that we have inserted a section of line with length l λ 4 and impedance Z m . At point A, the junction between the first line and the matchng section, we can find thenormalized impedance as
Z A Z M Z 0 2 Z m

Another cascaded line

We take this impedence and rotate around on the Smith Chart λ 4 to find Z B Z M
Z B Z M Z m Z 0 2 Z m
where we have taken advantage of the fact that when we go half way around the Smith Chart, the impedance we get is justthe inverse of what we had originally (half way around turns r s into r s ).

Thus

Z B Z m 2 Z 0 2
If we want to have a match for line with impedence Z 0 1 , then Z B should equal Z 0 1 and hence:
Z B Z 0 1 Z m 2 Z 0 2
or
Z m Z 0 1 Z 0 2
This piece of line is called a quarter wave matching section and is a convenient way to connect two lines of different impedance.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
