SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating input impedance using complex numbers, specifically in the context of transmission line theory. The formula provided is derived from Euler's formula, with specific values for the reflection coefficient parameters, α = 0.1029 and β = 120.94. The calculation involves manipulating complex numbers by multiplying by the complex conjugate to simplify the expression. The final impedance formula presented is ZL = 50((1 - α2 + 2j sin(β)) / (1 + α2 - 2 cos(β))).

I got a problem, how to calculate this formula from euler to imajiner? or how calculate this case?

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

It looks pretty straightforward, but it would help if you could define a few of the terms for us. It looks like a transmission line calculation for a reflection at an impedance boundary? Are you mainly asking for help understanding the rectangular/polar forms of the equations?

The trick to solving a problem with a ratio of complex numbers is to multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator (this makes the denominator real). Let ##\alpha = 0.1029## and ##\beta=120.94##. We have,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1+\alpha e^{j\beta}) }{(1-\alpha e^{j\beta})}$$I hope you can see that the complex conjugate of the denominator is ##1-\alpha e^{-j\beta}## Therefore,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1+\alpha e^{j\beta} )}{(1-\alpha e^{j\beta})}\frac{(1-\alpha e^{-j\beta} )}{(1-\alpha e^{-j\beta})}\\
=50\frac{(1+\alpha (e^{j\beta}-e^{-j\beta})- \alpha^2)}{(1-\alpha (e^{j\beta}+e^{-j\beta})+ \alpha^2)}$$Recall that$$
\cos(\beta)=\frac{e^{j\beta}+e^{-j\beta}}{2}\\
\sin(\beta)=\frac{e^{j\beta}-e^{-j\beta}}{2j}$$
Thus we have,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1-\alpha^2 + 2j\sin (\beta))}{(1+\alpha^2 - 2\cos (\beta))}$$
