Phase and Impedance Cross Scans

Same-Phase Divider Three-Row Scan

load share moves output

Same-phase source and load impedances divide voltage by exact load share. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Equal source and load split the voltage

Source impedance 2 ohms and load impedance 2 ohms put 1/2 of the voltage on the load.

A larger load takes three quarters

Load impedance 6 ohms makes the load share 3/4 and output voltage 12.

A much larger load keeps seven eighths

Load impedance 14 ohms makes the load share 7/8 and output voltage 14.
