Problem 2.26: Solution
26 A 50- lossless transmission line is connected to a load composed of a 75- resistor in series with a capacitor of unknown capacitance (Fig. P2.26). If at 10 MHz the voltage standing wave ratio on the line was measured to be 3, determine the capacitance C.
RL = 75 Z0 = 50 C=?

Upon substituting |L | = 0.5, RL = 75 , and Z0 = 50 , and then solving for XC , we have XC = 66.1 . Hence C= 1 1 = = 2.41 1010 = 241 pF. XC 2 107 66.1
