Lossy Line with a Matched Load

 
This example is exactly the same as the Low-Loss example, except the load is perfectly matched to the intrinsic impedance.  ZL = Z0 = 50-j7W
 

Voltages for a Lossy Matched Line

 
Notes:
  • In the absence of any reflected waves, the envelope of the transmission line is a perfectly smooth exponential function.
  • Unlike the ideal lossless transmission lines, the matches are not frequency independent.  This match of 50 - j7W would not work so well at any other frequency.
