For a lossy transmission line, γ=0.02+j0.15 and is 20m long. The line is terminated with an impedance of a 400Ω. Then the input impedance of the transmission line given that the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is 156.13+j11.38Ω is:

For a lossy transmission line, γ=0.02+j0.15 and is 20m long. The line is terminated with an impedance of a 400Ω. Then the input impedance of the transmission line given that the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is 156.13+j11.38Ω is: Correct Answer 228+j36.8 Ω

The relation between source impedance, propagation constant and characteristic impedance is given by ZS= Z0 (ZLcosh(γl) + Z0 sinh(γl))/( Z0cosh(γl) + ZL sinh(γl)). Substituting the given values in the above equation, input impedance of the transmission line is 228+j36.8 Ω.
