How to solve this to calculate the input impedance?

In summary, the conversation is about a problem involving the calculation of a formula from euler to imaginary numbers. The problem involves a transmission line calculation for a reflection at an impedance boundary. The solution involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator and using trigonometric identities to simplify the equation.

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,$$
Z_L=50\frac{(1-\alpha^2 + 2j\sin (\beta))}{(1+\alpha^2 - 2\cos (\beta))}$$

1. What is input impedance and why is it important?

Input impedance is the measure of how much resistance an electrical circuit presents to an incoming signal. It is important because it affects the performance and efficiency of electronic devices, and can also impact the accuracy of measurements taken within a circuit.

2. How do I calculate input impedance?

The input impedance of a circuit can be calculated by dividing the voltage at the input by the current at the input. This can be done using Ohm's Law (Z = V/I) or through more complex formulas depending on the circuit's components and configuration.

3. What factors affect input impedance?

The main factors that affect input impedance include the type and number of components in the circuit, the frequency of the input signal, and the configuration of the circuit (i.e. series or parallel). Temperature and environmental conditions can also play a role in the input impedance of a circuit.

4. How does input impedance differ from output impedance?

Input impedance refers to the resistance presented at the input of a circuit, while output impedance refers to the resistance at the output. In simple terms, input impedance is the resistance that an incoming signal experiences, while output impedance is the resistance that an outgoing signal experiences.

5. Can input impedance be adjusted or controlled?

Yes, input impedance can be adjusted or controlled by changing the components or configuration of a circuit. For example, adding a resistor in series can increase the input impedance, while adding a capacitor in parallel can decrease it. However, it is important to note that input impedance is also affected by external factors such as the source of the signal and the load connected to the circuit.
