Example: A 50 Ω coaxial cable, filled with a dielectric material of εr = 2.25, is


connected to a generator with 50 Ω internal impedance and 200 MHz signal frequency.
The transmission line is terminated in an unknown impedance, ZL at a distance of 10
cm from the generator.
Knowing that the input impedance, Zin at the source terminal was measured and noted
as 25+j5 Ω, what is the load impedance?
