Programa para analizar el transitorio de transferencia de energía electromagnética desde una fuente a una carga por una línea de transmisión

Abstract

This contribution presents a software which has been developed to make more visual and comprehensive the study of the electromagnetic propagation of RF waves in a transmission line. The propagation of voltage, current and power waves from a source system to a load, using a transmission line, is one of the most basics aspects that any student of electrical engineering must understand, and one of the most common scenarios presented in actual work with RF systems. The theory studied in subjects related with microwaves and transmission lines must give the student a basic approach to the phenomena involved, and concepts like Maximum Power Transfer and Mismatch must be understood. In the stationary frequency domain this concepts are usually clear, but the student may often feel a gap when trying to understand what happens in the time domain. The software presented will help the student in the understanding of the transient process of electromagnetic power in such situations.
