考虑一个连接到负载的线性交流电路，该电路由其戴维南等效电路表示。
通过使用戴维南阻抗和负载阻抗的矩形形式来确定流经负载的电流。
负载的平均功率由电流表达式求得。
为了确定最大功率时的负载电阻，需将功率对电阻的导数设为零。
同样，可获得最大功率时的负载电抗。
因此，为了实现最大平均功率传输，负载阻抗的电抗应为戴维南阻抗电抗的负值，而其电阻则应等于戴维南阻抗的电阻。
代入这些值后，可得到最大功率。
根据最大平均功率定理，负载阻抗等于戴维南阻抗的复共轭。
对于纯电阻负载，当负载阻抗等于戴维南阻抗的幅值时，出现最大平均功率传输。
在无线通信中，天线的阻抗与传输线或接收电路的阻抗相匹配，以最大化功率传输，确保最佳信号强度，并提高通信质量和传输距离。

连接的负载会吸收电流，电路能够将功率传输到负载中。流过负载的交流电流是由电压、电流、网络阻抗和负载阻抗的矩形形式来进行确定的。传输给负载的平均功率是由电流的平方与负载电阻进行相乘所得出的。

<img alt="Equation 2" src="/files/ftp_upload/15125/15125_Equation_2.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 16px;">
传输到负载的最大功率是通过计算功率相对于负载电阻的导数来进行确定的。然后在最大条件下令其导数等于零。因此，对于最大平均功率定理来说，负载阻抗中的电抗是戴维南阻抗中电抗的负数，其电阻等于戴维南阻抗中的电阻。当满足这些条件时，负载阻抗被称为电路中戴维南阻抗的复共轭。当负载阻抗满足上述条件时，便能够得出最大功率。

<img alt="Equation 5" src="/files/ftp_upload/15125/15125_Equation_5.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 16px;">
根据最大平均功率定理可以得知，负载阻抗等于戴维南阻抗的复共轭。对于纯电阻负载来说，当负载阻抗等于戴维南阻抗的大小时，就会发生最大平均功率传输。
在无线通信中，天线阻抗能够与传输线或接收器电路中的阻抗相匹配，从而能够最大限度地提高功率传输效率，并保持最佳信号强度，同时还会增强通信质量和范围。

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

matching load impedance for maximum power

Maximum power transfer in an AC circuit depends on matching the load impedance to the Thevenin equivalent of the source network. The load draws current, and the circuit delivers power to that load. To analyze the current, the voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance are written in rectangular form.

The average power delivered to the load comes from the square of the current multiplied by the load resistance. To find the condition for maximum power, the power is differentiated with respect to the load resistance. That derivative is then set equal to zero.

For maximum average power transfer, the load reactance must be the negative of the Thevenin reactance. The load resistance must also equal the Thevenin resistance. When both conditions are met, the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the circuit's Thevenin impedance.

For a purely resistive load, maximum average power transfer occurs when the load impedance equals the magnitude of the Thevenin impedance. This idea is used in wireless communications, where an antenna is matched to a transmission line or receiver circuit. Good matching improves power transfer, signal strength, communication quality, and range.

instantaneous power

AC Power and Phase Shift

Instantaneous power in an electrical circuit comes from the voltage across an element and the current through it. It is written as p(t) and follows the passive sign convention. For sinusoidal input, this product helps show how power changes at each moment. When instantaneous power is expanded, it has two parts. One part is constant and depends on the phase difference between voltage and current. The other part is a sinusoidal term that varies at twice the frequency of the voltage or current. <br...

average power

Power Consumption in AC Circuits

Power consumption in AC circuits is often described with average power. In practical electrical work, the changing value of instantaneous power is less useful than the average over a time period. Average power is found by integrating instantaneous power over that time and then dividing by the duration. The time-domain expression for average power comes from simplifying the equation for instantaneous power. In that form, one cosine term averages to zero over a complete cycle. The result does...

effective value of a periodic waveform

RMS Value for AC Power Measurement

The RMS value, or effective value, helps measure how much power a periodic voltage or current can deliver. It is the direct current, or DC, value that gives the same average power to a resistor as the periodic signal does. This idea is especially important in AC circuits. To find the effective value of current, calculate the root mean square, or RMS, current. First square the instantaneous current values over one period. Then find the mean of those squared values and take the square root. The...

complex power

Power Triangle in AC Circuits

Power triangle and complex power help describe how an AC load uses energy. Engineers use complex power to capture the combined effect of parallel loads. It gives a full picture of the power consumed by a specific load. Complex power is found by multiplying voltage by the complex conjugate of current. Using rms values, it is written with the rms voltage phasor and the complex conjugate of the rms current phasor. It can also be written in terms of load impedance. The magnitude of complex power...

conservation of ac power

AC Power in Series and Parallel Circuits

AC power in series and parallel circuits follows a power preservation rule. In AC circuits, the complex power, real power, and reactive power produced by the source are equal to the total complex, real, and reactive powers absorbed by the loads. When two load impedances are connected in parallel to an AC source V, the source power can be written as the sum of the complex powers delivered to loads Z1 and Z2. If those same loads are connected in series with the voltage source, the complex power...

power factor

Power Factor and AC Load Behavior

Power factor describes how voltage and current behave in an AC load. It is the ratio of average, or active, power to apparent power. The power factor angle is the phase difference between voltage and current, and the cosine of that angle gives the power factor. It also matches the angle of the load impedance. Power factor shows how much apparent power becomes real, or average, power. Its value ranges from zero to one. When a load is purely resistive, voltage and current are in phase. In that...

power factor correction

Reducing Reactive Power in AC Loads

Power factor correction helps AC systems use electrical power more efficiently. In a factory circuit, transmitted power includes apparent power, which is made of active power and reactive power. Power factor is the ratio of real power, measured in kW, to apparent power, measured in kVA. It shows how much of the supplied power becomes useful work. A low power factor often happens when an inductive load draws too much reactive power. This creates a lagging power factor. It can also cause large...

the power superposition principle

Power from Multiple AC Sources

Power from multiple AC sources is found by adding the effects of each source separately. In a circuit with two sinusoidal voltage sources, each source acts independently. The superposition principle says the total current is the sum of the currents produced by each source alone. If those currents are labeled i1 and i2, they combine to give the total current. Instantaneous power is the power at one moment in time. In this circuit, it equals the square of the instantaneous current times the...
