What is the input impedance of a quarter wavelength transmission line?

So the quarter-wave transformer should have a characteristic impedance of 150 Ω.

What is the input impedance of transmission line?

The input impedance of a transmission line is the impedance seen by any signal entering it. It is caused by the physical dimensions of the transmission line and its downstream circuit elements.

What is the impedance condition for the quarter-wave transformer?

Quarter-wave impedance transformers are designed for a particular frequency and the length of the transformer is equal to λ0/4 only at this designed frequency. The disadvantage of a quarter-wave impedance transformer is that impedance matching is only possible if the load impedance is real.

What is the 1 4 wavelength rule?

It is that quarter wavelength rule of having enough space to absorb at least 25 % of the design frequency we are going after to absorb. If we take 40 Hz. the wavelength at 28′ in total length and divide that number by 4, we get a quarter wavelength of around 7′.
