14.3 The MATLAB function VIprofile, given below, plots the voltage profile of
variable lengths (as a fraction of wave length) of loss-free transmission lines for varying
load conditions
function [Vs,Is,leng] = VIprofile(L,C,Vr,Pr,pf,pftype,f);
% Programme to compute plot the VI profile of a transmission line

%Computation of SIL of the line
Zc=sqrt(L/C);lambda=1/(f*sqrt(L*C))
SIL=(abs(Vr))^2/Zc;
%Computation of ABCD constants
beta=2*pi*f*sqrt(L*C);
l=input('length of line as percentage of lambda') % input length of the
% as a fraction of wave length
leng=fix(l*lambda)

phi=acos(pf);
if pftype == 0;
phi=-phi;

end

end
end
for k=1:leng+1
