Concept:

ABCD parameters in a transmission line are represented as

VS = AVR + BIR

IS = CVR + DIR

To equalize the sending and receiving end voltage, VS = VR

⇒ VR = AVR + BIR

\(\Rightarrow {I_R} = \frac{{1 - A}}{B}{V_R}\)

The impedance at the receiving end is

\(Z = \frac{{{V_R}}}{{{I_R}}} = \frac{B}{{1 - A}}\)

Calculation:

Given that,

A = D = 0.9∠0°, B = 200 ∠90° Ω

The impedance at receiving end

\(Z = \frac{{{V_R}}}{{{I_R}}} = \frac{B}{{1 - A}} = \frac{{200\angle 90^\circ }}{{1 - 0.9\angle 0^\circ }}\)

⇒ Z = 2000∠90° Ω
