11.1 Introduction

Wave propagation in unbounded media is used in radio or TVbroadcasting, where the information being transmitted is meant foreveryone who may be interested.

Another means of transmitting power or information is by guidedstructures. Guided structures serve to guide (or direct) thepropagation of energy from the source to the load.

Typical examples of such structures are transmission lines andwaveguides.

Waveguides are discussed in the next chapter; transmission linesare considered in this chapter.

Transmission lines are commonly used in power distribution (atlow frequencies) and in communications (at high frequencies).

A transmission line basically consists of two or more parallelconductors used to connect a source to a load.

Typical transmission lines include coaxial cable, a two‐wire line, aparallel‐plate line, and a microstrip line.

Coaxial cables are used in connecting TV sets to TV antennas.Microstrip lines are particularly important in integrated circuits.

Transmission line problems are usually solved using EM fieldtheory and electric circuit theory, the two major theories on whichelectrical engineering is based.

Transmission Line Parameters

The line parameters R, L, G, and C are uniformly distributedalong the entire length of the line.

For each line, the conductors are characterized by σc,µc,εc,=ε0,

and the homogeneous dielectric separating the conductors ischaracterized by σ,µ,ε.

G ≠1/R; R is the ac resistance per unit length of the conductorscomprising the line and G is the conductance per unit length due tothe dielectric medium separating the conductors.

11.3 Transmission Line EquationsTwo‐conductor transmission lines support a TEM wave; E and Hare perpendicular to each other and transverse to the direction ofpropagation.

E and H are related to V and I:

Using V and I in solving the transmission line problem is simplerthan solving E and H (requires Maxwell’s equations).

Lossless Line (R=G=0)A transmission line is said to be lossless if the conductors of the lineare perfect (σc ≈ ∞) and the dielectric medium separating them islossless (σ ≈ 0)

and GLCC

19

Any signal that carries significant information must has somenon-zero bandwidth. In other words, the signal energy (as well asthe information it carries) is spread across many frequencies.

If the different frequencies that comprise a signal travel atdifferent velocities, that signal will arrive at the end of atransmission line distorted. We call this phenomenon signaldispersion.

Recall for lossless lines, however, the phase velocity isindependent of frequency—no dispersion will occur!

Of course, a perfectly lossless line is impossible, but we findphase velocity is approximately constant if the line is low-loss.

Distortionless Line (R/L=G/C)A distortionless line is one in which the attenuation constant α isfrequency independent while the phase constant β is linearlydependent on frequency.

α does not depend onfrequency, whereas β is a linearfunction of frequency.

Notes:Shape distortion of signals happen if α and u are frequencydependent.

u and Z0 for distortionless line are the same as lossless line.

A lossless line is also a distortionless line, but a distortionless lineis not necessarily lossless.

Lossless lines are desirable in power transmission, and telephonelines are required to be distortionless. 21

To achieve the required condition of R/L=G/C for a transmission line,L may be increased by loading the cable with a metal with highmagnetic permeability (μ).

A common practice is to replace repeaters in long lines to maintain thedesired shape and duration of pulses for long distance transmission. 22
