1 Exercise 3-1 Standing Waves and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) EXERCISE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this exercise, you will know how standing waves are created on transmission lines. You will be able to describe the characteristics of a standing wave based on the nature of the impedance mismatch at the origin of this wave. You will know what is the standing-wave ratio and how to measure it. DISCUSSION Standing Waves on an Open-Ended Line Figure 3-4 shows a sinusoidal-voltage generator connected to a transmission line. The receiving end of the line is in the open-circuit condition (Z L = ). At time t = 0, the generator produces a sinusoidal voltage that is launched into the line. After a certain transit time, T, the voltage reaches the receiving end of the line, where it is reflected back to the generator due to the impedance mismatch. At that very moment, the incident and reflected voltages have the same phase, because the incident voltage is reflected with the same phase as if it would have continued if the line had not ended. Figure 3-4. Creation of a standing wave on an open-ended line (Z L = ). After time T, the reflected and incident voltages travel through each other, but in opposite directions, along the line, thereby combining vectorially. This results in 3-7
2 the creation of a standing wave of voltage along the line (the boldest line in Figure 3-4). The standing wave is the algebraic sum of the instantaneous values of the incident and reflected voltages at each point all along the line. This wave does not move or travel along the line, hence the term "standing". Figure 3-5 shows standing waves on an open-ended line versus distance (D) at different instants of time. The amplitude of the standing wave is different in each case, due to the fact that the incident voltage has a different phase when it reaches the receiving end. At the receiving end, the incident and reflected voltages are always in phase, whatever the phase of the incident voltage may be. Along the line, the voltage of the standing wave can vary between twice the positive maximum and twice the negative maximum of the incident voltage (assuming a lossless line), depending on the phase of the incident voltage (or time of observation) of the incident voltage. Along the line, the voltage of the standing wave invariably reaches a minimum or maximum at multiples of /4 from the receiving end of the line, as Figure 3-5 shows. At odd multiples of /4 from the receiving end, the incident and reflected voltages are 180 out of phase. Consequently, the voltage of the standing wave is at a minimum. At even multiples of /4 from the receiving end, the incident and reflected voltages have the same phase. Consequently, the voltage of the standing wave is at a maximum (positive or negative). 3-8
3 Figure 3-5. Standing waves on an open-ended line versus distance (D) at three different instants, t n. Even if the voltage of standing waves continually changes polarity with time, the conventional way of representing these waves is with their negative and positive halfcycles pointing upward. Figure 3-6 shows the conventional representation of a standing wave on an openended line. This representation actually corresponds to the result obtained when measuring the amplitude of a standing wave after rectification and filtering as with a peak detector. The points where the voltage is minimum are called nodes. At a node, the voltage is null if the line is lossless. A node occurs at every odd multiple of /4 from the receiving end. Since Z = V/I, the input impedance of an open-ended lossless line that is exactly /4 long (or 3 /4, 5 /4, 7 /4 long,...) is null (0 ). The points where the voltage is maximum are called loops, or antinodes. A loop occurs at every even multiple of /4 from the receiving end. At a loop, the current is null if the line is lossless. Consequently, the input impedance line of an openended lossless line that is exactly /2 long (or, 3 /2, 5 /2 long,...) is infinite ( ). 3-9
4 The higher the frequency of the sinusoidal voltage launched into a line, the longer the electrical length of the line and, therefore, the greater the number of loops and nodes along the line. Figure 3-6. Conventional representation of a standing wave of voltage on an open-ended lossless line. Standing Waves on a Short-Ended Line Figure 3-7 shows a sinusoidal-voltage generator connected to a transmission line. The receiving end of the line is in the short-circuit condition (Z L = 0 ). At time t = 0, the generator produces a sinusoidal voltage that is launched into the line. After a certain transit time, T, the voltage reaches the receiving end of the line, where it is reflected back to the generator due to the impedance mismatch. At that very moment, the incident and reflected voltages are 180 out of phase, because the incident voltage is reversed (shifted in phase) as it is reflected. After time T, the reflected and incident voltages travel through each other, but in opposite directions, thereby combining vectorially. This results in the creation of a standing wave of voltage along the line. The standing wave is the algebraic sum of the instantaneous values of the incident and reflected voltages at each point all along the line. 3-10
5 Figure 3-7. Creation of a standing wave on a short-ended line (Z L = 0 ). Figure 3-8 shows standing waves on a short-ended line versus distance (D) at different instants of time. The amplitude of the standing wave is different in each case, due to the fact that the incident voltage has a different phase when it reaches the receiving end of the line at time T. At the receiving end, the incident and reflected voltages are always 180 out of phase, whatever the phase of the incident voltage may be. Consequently, the voltage of the standing wave is always 0 V (assuming a lossless line). Along the line, the voltage of the standing wave invariably reaches a minimum or maximum at multiples of quarter-wavelengths ( /4) from the receiving end of the line, as Figure 3-8 shows. At odd multiples of /4 from the receiving end ( /4, 3 /4, 5 /4, etc.), the incident and reflected voltages have the same phase. Consequently, the peak voltage of the standing wave is at a maximum. At even multiples of /4 (2 /4, 4 /4, 6 /4, etc.) from the receiving end, the incident and reflected voltages are 180 out of phase. Consequently, the peak voltage of the standing wave is at a minimum. 3-11
6 Figure 3-8. Standing waves on a short-ended line versus distance (D) at different instants of time. Figure 3-9 shows the conventional representation of a standing wave of voltage on a short-ended line. On a short-ended line, a node invariably occurs at the receiving end of the line. Nodes also occur at every even multiple of /4 from the receiving end. At a node, the voltage is null if the line is lossless. Consequently, the input impedance of a short-ended lossless line whose electrical length is an even multiple of /4 is null (0 ). Loops occur at every odd multiple of /4 from the receiving end. At a loop, the voltage is maximum, and the current is null if the line is lossless. Consequently, the input impedance of a short-ended lossless line whose electrical length is an odd multiple of /4 is infinite ( ). 3-12
7 Figure 3-9. Conventional representation of a standing wave of voltage on a short-ended lossless line. Voltage Standing-Wave Ratio (VSWR) The ratio of the loop voltage to the node voltage of a standing wave is called the voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR). In equation form: where VSWR = Voltage standing-wave ratio (dimensionless number) ; V LOOP = Voltage of the standing wave at a loop, = V MAX. (V); = Voltage of the standing wave at a node, = V MIN. (V). V NODE The VSWR indicates the degree of mismatch between the load impedance and the characteristic impedance of the line. The higher the VSWR, the more severe the impedance mismatch. Conversely, the lower the VSWR, the better the impedance match and, therefore, the better the efficiency of power transfer. When a line is properly matched, all the transmitted energy is transferred to the load. There is no reflection and, therefore, no standing waves. The voltage remains constant along the line. Consequently, the ratio V LOOP /V NODE is equal to unity if the line is lossless. Consequently, the VSWR is 1, and the efficiency is optimum. In the worst situation, the load is in the open- or short-circuit condition, so that the node voltage is equal to 0 V (if the line is lossless). Consequently, the VSWR is infinite ( ). In any other situation, the VSWR is comprised between 1 and. 3-13
8 Note: So far, we have been talking in terms of energy transfer, and energy transfer efficiency through transmission lines that carry transient (short-duration) signals. From now on, however, we will use the terms power transfer and power transfer efficiency instead, because power, which is energy per unit of time, is more relevant to the transfer of signals that repeat periodically and that show negligible change over a relatively long period of time. Line Terminated by Z L > Z 0 Figure 3-10 shows a standing wave on a lossless line terminated by a purely resistive load having an impedance Z L > Z 0, in comparison to that obtained when the line is in the open-circuit condition (Z L = ). The wave obtained with Z L < Z 0 is weaker than for the open-ended line, because part of the received voltage is absorbed by the load. Thus, the maximum voltage of the wave is not as high as when the line is open-ended. Moreover, the minimum voltage of the wave is not as low as when the line is open-ended. Consequently, the VSWR is lower than for an open-ended line (Z L = ). In fact, when Z L > Z 0, In Figure 3-10, for example, Z L = 2Z 0, so that the VSWR = 2. If Z L is increased to 4Z 0, then the VSWR will be 4, and so on. Figure Standing waves on a line when Z L > Z 0, as compared to when Z L =. 3-14
9 Line Terminated by Z L < Z 0 Figure 3-11 shows a standing wave on a lossless line terminated by a purely resistive load having an impedance Z L < Z 0, in comparison to that obtained when the line is in the short-circuit condition (Z L = 0 ). The wave obtained with Z L < Z 0 is weaker than for the short-ended line, because part of the received voltage is absorbed by the load. Thus, the maximum voltage of the wave is not as high as when the line is short-ended. Moreover, the minimum voltage of the wave is not as low as when the line is short-ended. Consequently, the VSWR is lower than for a short-ended line ( ). In fact, when Z L < Z 0, In Figure 3-11, for example, Z L = Z 0 /2, so that VSWR = 2. If Z L is decreased to Z 0 /4, then the VSWR will be 4, and so on. Figure Standing waves on a line when Z L < Z 0, as compared to when Z L = 0. The VSWR is a scalar quantity: it consists of a real number that does not take account of the phase of the incident voltage as it reaches the load. This implies that a same VSWR can be caused by different load impedances. For example, as you have seen, a VSWR of 2 can be caused by a load impedance of 2Z 0 (i.e. higher than Z 0 ) or of Z 0 /2 (i.e. lower than Z 0 ). However, the standing waves produced in each case differ in the location of their loops and nodes: With a load impedance higher than Z 0, the situation is similar to that of an openended line: the nodes occur at odd multiples of /4, while the loops occur at even multiples of /
10 With a load impedance lower than Z 0, the situation is similar to that of a shortended line: the loops occur at odd multiples of /4, while the nodes occur at even multiples of /4. Procedure Summary In this procedure section, you will determine the effect that a change in electrical length has on the characteristics of the standing wave created on a short-ended line. You will then observe the differences between the standing waves and the VSWR that occur on a line of given electrical length when Z L < Z 0 and when Z L > Z 0. PROCEDURE Standing Waves on a Short-Ended Line for Different Electrical Lengths G 1. Make sure the TRANSMISSION LINES circuit board is properly installed into the Base Unit. Turn on the Base Unit and verify that the LED's next to each control knob on this unit are both on, confirming that the circuit board is properly powered. G 2. Referring to Figure 3-12, connect the SIGNAL GENERATOR 50- output to the sending end of TRANSMISSION LINE A, using a short coaxial cable. Connect the receiving end of TRANSMISSION LINE A to the sending end of TRANSMISSION LINE B, using a short coaxial cable. Connect the receiving end of TRANSMISSION LINE B to the input of the LOAD SECTION, using a short coaxial cable. Using an oscilloscope probe, connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the 0-meter (0-foot) probe turret of TRANSMISSION LINE A. Connect the SIGNAL GENERATOR 100- output to the trigger input of the oscilloscope, using a coaxial cable. In the LOAD section, set the toggle switches in such a way as to connect the input of this section directly to the common (i.e. via no load). This places the impedance of the load at the receiving end of the line made by TRANSMISSION LINEs A and B connected end-to-end in the short-circuit condition (0 ). The connections should now be as shown in Figure (The toggle-switch setting is not shown). In the exercise, the oscilloscope probe will be successively connected to each probe turret along the transmission line, as indicated by the dashed lines in Figure
11 Figure Measuring the standing-wave voltage along a short-ended line for different electrical lengths. G 3. Make the following settings on the oscilloscope: Channel 1 Mode Normal Sensitivity V/div Input Coupling AC Time Base s/div Trigger Source External Level V Input Impedance M or more G 4. In the SIGNAL GENERATOR section, set the FREQUENCY knob to the fully clockwise (MAX.) position. This sets the frequency of the sinusoidal voltage produced by this generator to a maximum (about 5 MHz). The voltage present at the sending end of the line (as displayed on the oscilloscope) should be as shown in Figure
12 Figure The frequency of the sinusoidal voltage observed at the sending end of the line is maximum (5 MHz approximately). G 5. Decrease the frequency of the SIGNAL GENERATOR voltage from maximum to minimum (i.e. from 5 MHz to 5 khz approximately). To do this, very slowly turn the FREQUENCY knob of this generator fully counterclockwise. As you do this, observe the voltage present at the sending end of the line on the oscilloscope. You should observe that, as the frequency is decreased, the amplitude of the displayed voltage continually varies, alternating between some maximum and some minimum values. This occurs because, as the frequency of the generator voltage is decreased, the wavelength of this voltage increases, causing the electrical length of the line, l, to decrease, as Figure 3-14 shows. This decrease in electrical length causes the frequency of the standing wave present along the line to decrease, causing the voltage at any given point, z, along the line to vary in consequence. 3-18
13 Figure The voltage at point z continually varies as the frequency of the standing wave decreases. G 6. Make sure the FREQUENCY knob of the SIGNAL GENERATOR is set to the fully counterclockwise (MIN.) position. While observing the voltage on the oscilloscope, slowly turn the FREQUENCY knob clockwise and stop turning it as soon as the amplitude of the voltage reaches a first maximum. The frequency of the voltage should now be nearly 1 MHz approximately (T 1 s), as Figure 3-15 shows. Since the frequency of the voltage is around 1 MHz, and the theoretical velocity of propagation is m/s ( ft/s), the wavelength of the voltage,, is 196 m (643 ft) approximately. Consequently, the electrical length of the 48-m (157.4-ft) line made by TRANSMISSION LINEs A and B connected end-to-end is about a. 2 b. /2 c. /4 d. 3-19
14 Figure The amplitude of the voltage reaches a maximum at around 1 MHz. G 7. Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the sinusoidal voltage along the entire length of the line. To do so, connect the oscilloscope probe to each of the probe turrets listed below, and record the amplitude at each distance from the sending end in the graph of Figure m (0-ft) turret of line A (sending end); 6-m (19.7-ft) turret of line A; 12-m (39.4-ft) turret of line A; 18-m (59.0-ft) turret of line A; 24-m (78.7-ft) turret of line A; 6-m (19.7-ft) turret of line B [30 m (98.4 ft) from the sending end)]; 12-m (39.4 -ft) turret of line B; 18-m (59.0-ft) turret of line B; 24-m (78.7-ft) turret of line B (receiving end); 3-20
15 Figure Standing waves on a short-ended line for different electrical lengths. G 8. Connect the dots your recorded in the graph of Figure The obtained curve corresponds to the standing wave on the short-ended line when the electrical length is /4. This should resemble that shown in Figure
16 Figure Standing wave on a short-ended /4 line. G 9. Connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the 0-meter (0-foot) probe turret of TRANSMISSION LINE A. Set the oscilloscope time base to 0.2 s/div. Increase the frequency of the generator voltage. To do this, slowly turn the FREQUENCY knob clockwise and stop turning it as soon as the amplitude of the displayed voltage reaches a minimum. The frequency of this voltage should be around 2 MHz approximately (T 0.5 s), as Figure 3-18 shows. 3-22
17 Figure The amplitude of the voltage reaches a minimum at around 2 MHz. G 10. Since the frequency of the voltage is 2 MHz approximately, the wavelength of the voltage is around 98 m (321 ft). Consequently, the line is nearly /2 long. Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the voltage along the /2 line. Record your results in the graph of Figure Then, connect the dots to obtain the standing wave for the /2 line. G 11. Connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the 0-meter (0-foot) probe turret of TRANSMISSION LINE A. Further increase the generator frequency until the amplitude of the displayed voltage reaches a new maximum. The frequency of this voltage should now be around 3 MHz (T 0.33 s), as Figure 3-19 shows. 3-23
18 Figure The amplitude of the voltage reaches another maximum at around 3 MHz. G 12. Since the frequency of the voltage is 3 MHz approximately, the wavelength of the voltage is 65 m (213 ft) approximately. Consequently, the line is nearly 3 /4 long. Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the voltage along the 3 /4 line. Record your results in the graph of Figure Then, connect the dots to obtain the standing wave for the 3 /4 line. G 13. Connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the 0-meter (0-foot) probe turret of TRANSMISSION LINE A. Further increase the generator frequency until the amplitude of the displayed voltage reaches a new minimum. The frequency of this voltage should now be around 4 MHz (T 0.25 s), as Figure 3-20 shows. 3-24
19 Figure The amplitude of the voltage reaches another minimum at around 4 MHz. G 14. Since the frequency of the voltage is 4 MHz approximately, the wavelength of the voltage is 49 m (161 ft) approximately. Consequently, the line is nearly 4 /4 long, i.e. long. Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the voltage along the entire length of the -long line. Record your results in the graph of Figure Connect the dots to obtain the standing wave of the -long line. G 15. The four standing waves you plotted in the graph of Figure 3-16 should be similar to those shown in Figure As the frequency of the generator voltage is increased, a. the wavelength of the generator voltage decreases. b. the electrical length of the line increases. c. the frequency of the standing wave increases. d. All of the above. 3-25
20 Figure Standing waves on a short-ended line for different electrical lengths. G 16. On your graph of Figure 3-16, locate the points of minimum voltage (nodes) in the standing waves plotted for the /2, 3 /4, and lines. Observe that the voltage at the nodes is not null (0 V), due to the resistance of lossy TRANSMISSION LINEs A and B. According to the plotted waves, a node occurs at a. /4 from the receiving end of the line, for any electrical length. b. /2 from the receiving end of the line, for any electrical length. c. /2 from the receiving end of the line for the /2 line only. d. /4 from the receiving end of the line for the 3 /4 line only. G 17. On your graph of Figure 3-16, locate the points of maximum voltage (loops) in each standing wave. Note that as the electrical length increases, the voltage at the loop(s) of a standing wave decreases, due to the fact that attenuation through lossy TRANSMISSION LINEs A and B increases with frequency. 3-26
21 According to the plotted waves, a loop occurs at a. /2 from the receiving end of the line, for any electrical length. b. /4 and /2 from the receiving end of the line for the 3 /4 line. c. /4 from the receiving end of the line, for any electrical length. d. /2 from the receiving end of the line for the /4 line. G 18. Based on your graph of Figure 3-16, the distance between two successive loops, or between two successive nodes in any standing wave is invariably equal to a. 2. b. /2. c. /4. d.. G 19. Based on your graph of Figure 3-16, for which electrical length is the voltage at the sending end of a short-ended line maximum and, therefore, the input impedance of the line maximum? a. /4 b. Odd multiples of /2, such as /2, 3 /2, 5 /2, etc. c. d. Odd multiples of /4, such as /4, 3 /4, 5 4, etc. G 20. Leave the connections set as they are. Proceed with the exercise. Standing Waves on a Line for Z L < Z 0 and Z L > Z 0 G 21. Connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the 0-meter (0-foot) probe turret of TRANSMISSION LINE A. Make sure the frequency of the displayed voltage is 4 MHz approximately (T 0.25 s), in order for the line to be long. Make sure the impedance of the line load is in the short-circuit condition (Z L = 0 ). Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the sinusoidal voltage along the line. In the graph of Figure 3-22, record the measured amplitude at each distance from the sending end. Then, connect the dots to obtain the standing wave for Z L =
22 Figure Standing waves on a -long line for Z L < Z 0 and Z L > Z 0. G 22. In the LOAD section, modify the setting of the toggle switches in order for the LOAD-section input to be connected to the common through resistor R2 (25 ). Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the voltage along the line. Record your results in the graph of Figure Then, connect the dots to obtain the standing wave for Z L = 25. G 23. In the LOAD section, modify the setting of the toggle switches in order for the LOAD-section input to be connected to the common through resistor R4 (100 ). Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the sinusoidal voltage along the line. Record your results in the graph of Figure Then, connect the dots to obtain the standing wave for Z L = 100. G 24. In the LOAD section, set all the toggle switches to the O (OFF) position. This places the impedance of the load in the open-circuit condition ( ). Measure the peak (positive) amplitude of the sinusoidal voltage along the line. Record your results in the graph of Figure Then, connect the dots to obtain the standing wave for Z L =. 3-28
23 G 25. The standing waves you plotted in the graph of Figure 3-22 should resemble those shown in Figure 3-23: The wave obtained for Z L = 100 is weaker than for the open-ended line (Z L = ), because part of the voltage is absorbed by the 100- load; Similarly, the wave obtained for Z L = 25 is weaker than for the shortended line (Z L = 0 ), because part of the voltage is absorbed by the 25- load. Figure Standing waves on a -long line for Z L < Z 0 and Z L > Z 0. G 26. Locate the nodes and loops in each of the standing waves you plotted in the graph of Figure Observe that for any given wave, the voltage at the loops and nodes of the wave decreases over distance from the sending end of the line, due to attenuation through the line. 3-29
24 Also, observe that the waves differ in the location of their loops and nodes, depending on whether Z L is lower or greater than Z 0. In fact, a. loops occur at even multiples of /4 when Z L < Z 0. b. nodes occur at odd multiples of /4 when Z L < Z 0, whereas they occur at even multiples of /4 when Z L > Z 0. c. loops occur at odd multiples of /4 when Z L > Z 0. d. loops occur at odd multiples of /4 when Z L < Z 0, whereas they occur at even multiples of /4 when Z L > Z 0. G 27. Based on the standing wave you plotted in the graph of Figure 3-22 for Z L = 0, calculate the VSWR at this impedance. To do so, use the loop voltage measured at 3 /4 from the receiving end and the node voltage measured at the sending end. Note: The voltage at the loops and nodes of the standing wave decreases over distance from the sending end, due to attenuation through lossy TRANSMISSION LINEs A and B. Consequently, the VSWR varies over distance, depending on the loop and adjacent node used for its calculation. The loop and node used here have been chosen arbitrarily, just for the sake of showing how the VSWR is calculated. VSWR (0 ) = According to your result, the VSWR for Z L = 0 is a. not equal to the theoretical value of 1 because the line is lossy. b. much lower than the theoretical value of because the line is lossy. c. nearly. d. lower than the theoretical value of 1 for a lossless line. G 28. Based on the standing wave you plotted in the graph of Figure 3-22 for Z L =, calculate the VSWR at this impedance. To do so, use the loop voltage measured at the sending end and the node voltage measured at 3 /4 from the receiving end. VSWR ( ) = According to your result, the VSWR for Z L = is a. nearly. b. not equal to the theoretical value of 1 because the line is lossy. c. lower than the theoretical value of 1 for a lossless line. d. lower than the theoretical value of because the line is lossy. G 29. Based on the standing waves you plotted in the graph of Figure 3-22 for Z L = 25 and Z L = 100, calculate the VSWR for each of these 3-30
25 impedances. To do so, use the loop and node voltages measured at the sending end and at 3 /4 from the receiving end. VSWR (25 ) = VSWR (100 ) = G 30. Compare the VSWR's obtained in the previous steps for Z L = 25 and Z L = 100 to those obtained for Z L = 0 and Z L =. The VSWR's for Z L = 25 and Z L = 100 are both a. lower than those for Z L = 0 and Z L =. b. greater than 1. c. lower than. d. All of the above. G 31. Turn off the Base Unit and remove all the connecting cables and probes. CONCLUSION When a line is mismatched at its load, standing waves are created along the line. The points of maximum voltage in a standing wave are called loops. Those of minimum voltage are called nodes. When Z L is higher than Z 0, loops occur at even multiples of /4 from the receiving end, and nodes at odd multiples of /4 from the receiving end. This implies that the input impedance of an open-ended lossless line is null when the line is /4 long, and infinite when the line is /2 long. When Z L is lower than Z 0, nodes occur at even multiples of /4 from the receiving end, and loops at odd multiples of /4 from the receiving end. This implies that the input impedance of a short-ended lossless line is infinite when the line is /4 long, and null when the line is /2 long. The ratio of the loop voltage to node voltage is called the voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR). The VSWR is comprised between 1 (no standing wave) and (short- or open-circuit load). The closer the VSWR is to 1, the better the impedance match between the line and load and, therefore, the better the efficiency of power transfer on the line. REVIEW QUESTIONS 1.
