General description (1)
• Electromagnetic Transmission Lines (TLs) are structures or media that transfer energy/information between two points by means of electromagnetic fields.
• TL is a two-port network, where each port consists of two terminals–
General description (4)
l
v(t)~c
As the switch is closed a voltage (and current) pulse moves down the wire.Time to travel length of wire is l/c. If voltage is not varying at this time scale then the system equilibrates such that the wire is at a constant voltage and no current flowing. However if the voltage varies at a frequency comparable to this time then the system is not in equilibrium.

General description (8)• How is a TL different from an electric circuit?
– Consider the following structure:
– When , i.e. the voltage does not depend on the length of the connecting wires
– When is not “too small”,i.e. the voltage depends on the length of the wires!
– What is “low” and “high“ frequency regime? Look at ! If “low” frequency (no delay).

Lumped element model (1)• Only TEM TLs will be considered in the
course• A TL will be presented by an equivalent.
parallel-wire configuration regardless of the specific shape.
• This is allowed because the field propagates in TEM TLs independently of the cross-sectional field distribution.
• The parameters of this configuration will be different for different types of TLs.
13
Lumped element model (2)• Procedure
– subdividing the TL into differential sections– represent each section by an equivalent circuit
– all parameters are per unit length!
– The representation is the same for any TEM TL
– The parameters are different for different TLs
15
Lumped element model (3)• Lumped element parameters for typical TLs
– Depend on the cross-sectional geometry– Depend on the filling medium parameters
16

and current in a TL? – First, consider a single cell– Apply Kirchhoff’s voltage law

– These are standing waves– They appear due to interference– The pattern is a periodic function– The pattern has maxima and minima– Note that these expressions are given for phasors! The
actual field oscillates in time with amplitude that depend on the spatial coordinate z
note the signs

Standing waves (3)• Standing wave characteristics:
– Maxima are obtained when the incident and reflected components are in phase, i.e. add constructively
– Minima are obtained when the incident and reflected components are in opposite phase, i.e. add destructively

Input impedance (9)• General properties of input impedance
– Purely reactive (imaginary) impedance
Reactive loads lead to total reflection with phase shift
– Input impedance depends on frequency E.g. The dependence is periodic For lossless TLs ANY impedance ALWAYS increases with an
increase of the frequency! This is called the Foster theorem. The impedance can, however, jump from to to start increasing again.

– The simplest matching is to take but it is often impossible practically.
– Alternative solution to eliminate the reflections is to use a matching network between the TL and the load. Example: a piece of TL, lumped elements, etc.
Impedance matching (1)• What is impedance matching
– TL are typically connected to a generator and a load.
– When , then the TL is matched to the load.
– For a perfectly matched TL, no signal is reflected.

– Consider a port at MM’
– Introduce two pieces of TL: One connected to and one shortened connected in parallel (called a stub)
– Two degrees of freedom are required to match
– Impedance at MM’ is obtained as based on the input impedances of these TLs as

Impedance matching (4)• General comments
– Many more options for matching networks exist– Lumped element matching is a good option as well– In most situations, perfect matching ( ) occurs
only for the matched frequency. – When the frequency is modified, the matching is not
perfect anymore, i.e. . The rate of mismatch depends on the shift of frequency and type of the matching network
