So the bad news: The professor does not remember any more why this is so. :( He said it was just best practices.
And the better news: He says it may have something to to do with minimizing the reflection coefficient.
Thoughts?
I'm sorry, but that is not what I meant.
I want to know Why is a complex load not permitted in the second best method? Why is this the second best method?
I've already done the math showing that this R_L corresponds to maximizing P_L when Z_L is only a resistance, not a reactance.
I am aware that this method yields a real number.
My question is, why is this the second best matching impedance.
No criteria were offered to me either...
Anyone with real-world experience?
(This is not a question I was given to solve, it is a question about the course notes.)
Homework Statement
In impedance matching, what is the next best method after the complex conjugate method?
If the source has V_s and Z_s, what should Z_L be?
V_s, Z_s, and Z_L are in series.
Homework...
Do you have any electrical engineering senior design projects suitable for someone who is BME/EE? This is one of the (few) classes necessary if I want to also complete the EE major, which I sort of joined for fun, because (i) they have all the math courses, not sure why and (ii) the professors...
That was a typo:
z2 should have been
R2/(jwcR2 + 1)
But really, I forgot to take:
z2/(z1+z2)
Now I have
R1/(R1 + R2)/[jwcR1R2(1/[R1+R2]) + 1]
with cutoff frequency (R1 + R2)/(R1 R2)
Thanks!
Homework Statement
I am supposed to find the circuit design for a first-order low-pass filter. The filter must be made of resistors and capacitors only (no inductances). Furthermore, the output voltage must be measured over a resistor or something in parallel with a resistor.
