### Problem 6

A microwave transmission line is 75 meters long and operates with a center frequency of 1.8 GHz. It has a characteristic impedance \( Z_0 = 50 + j0 \, \Omega \) and is terminated with an antenna having an impedance \( Z_L = 55 - j4 \, \Omega \). The load end of the line is designated as \( z = 0 \).

#### Questions:

a. Calculate the phase constant \( \beta \).

b. Find the reflection coefficient at the load, \( \rho(z=0) \).

c. Calculate the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).

d. Find the reflection coefficient at the source end, \( \rho(z=-L) \).

e. Determine the input impedance \( Z_{\text{in}} \).
