A certain transmission line operating at ω = 10⁶ rad/s has α = 8 dB/m, β = 1 rad/m, and Zo = 60 + j40 Ω, and is 2 m long. If the line is connected to a source of 10∠0° V, Zg = 40 Ω and terminated by a load of 20 + j50 Ω, determine:
(a) The input impedance
(b) The sending-end current
(c) The current at the middle of the line
Note: 1 Np = 8.686 dB
