Module 2 : Transmission Lines
Lecture 5 : Standing Waves on Transmission Line & Impedance Transformation
  Impedance at any Point on the Line
Impedance at a distance from the load is
   and

 

We therefore get,

 


Rearranging terms and noting that  and , we get

  Important
Impedance measured at line is not same as and is location dependent.
Impedance seen by the generator for a given load impedance varies a function of the line length and consequently the power supplied by the generator becomes a function of line length.
Just changing the connecting wires the circuit performance will change.
