ECE 6322
students: Write a program (in Matlab
or other) that shows the standing wave moving on a transmission line. Do this by converting eqn 2.36a to the time
domain, calculate V(z,t), and plot it with z as the fixed axis, in a “FOR”
loop incrementing “time”. For information
on creating a movie in matlab, see www.ece.utah.edu/~cfurse
(click tutorials). If you have a
laptop, please bring the simulation to class next Wednesday. If not, please just email me the code or
executable. |
