The circuit constants of a transmission
line are important because they
determine the performance of the line.
These constants are:

* Capacitance: (c)
* Conductance: (G)
These constants are given

the length of the line. The
circuit representation of these elements
requires a distributed-element model,
which is analyzed using calculus. ¢

Efficiency of the transmission line
Regulation and limits of power flow
The resistance and conductance
