Figure P2.58: Solution of Problem 2.58.

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.58. zin = Zin /Z0 = j2.5 /100 = 0.0 j0.025 which
is at point Z-IN and is at 0.004 on the wavelengths to load scale.
(a) Point Z-LOAD is 0.375 toward the load from the end of the line. Thus, on the
wavelength to load scale, it is at 0.004 + 0.375 = 0.379 .
ZL = zL Z0 = (0 + j0.95) 100 = j95 .

(b) After setting d = 0.375 in Module 2.6, the load point was moved over the
circle to realize a value of z(d) 0 j0.025. The corresponding value of zL is:
zL = 0 + j0.95064,
which gives
ZL = (0 + j95) .
