TransTenna and TransTenna Pro software programs were written to make impedance
transformation calculations on transmission lines easy and quick to perform. It can
be used in place of the Smith Chart to make these calculations.
This allows the user to make an impedance measurement at one end of a transmission line
with a SWR analyzer or other impedance measuring equipment and then calculate the
impedance at the opposite end of that transmission line.
For example, a SWR analyzer may be used to measure the series resistance and reactance
at the transmitter end of a transmission line. This data is then entered into the
TransTenna main worksheet. Next, the transmission line properties and frequency of
operation are entered into the worksheet. The software will then calculate and display
the series resistance and reactance at the opposite end of the transmission line.
This provides an easy method of determining the feed point impedance of an antenna
while it is in it's operating location.
