Short circuited λ/2 transmission line has a quality factor of:

A)
β/α
B)
β/2α
C)
2β/α
D)
Z0/ZL

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   β/2α

Explanation : Quality factor of a short circuited transmission line is a function of attenuation constant and phase constant of the transmission line. Higher is the attenuation in the transmission line, lower is the quality factor of the transmission line.
