A lossless transmission line of characteristic impedance Z o is terminated by an antenna
of resistive impedance Z L as shown. Calculate, Γ, S and sketch the voltage and current
distribution along the line for the following cases.

The antenna load Z L of part (c ) was not equal
to the characteristic impedance Z o of the
transmission line. Therefore the antenna was not
matched to the transmission line and reflections
occurred with weak signal reception at the
antenna. However, to avoid this, a student
suggested to insert a section of a new
transmission line of length l between the
antenna and the original transmission line as
shown below. What should be the length and the
characteristic impedance of the new line?
