Lecture 3

The document summarizes transmission line parameters α and β in terms of the line's resistance (R), conductance (G), inductance (L), and capacitance (C). Key points: - α accounts for signal attenuation and is defined as the sum of a resistance and conductance term. It can be expressed in Nepers or decibels per unit length. - β is the phase constant and accounts for the phase shift of the signal per unit length. It is defined as the product of the angular frequency and the square root of LC. β can also be defined in terms of the signal velocity and wavelength. The document provides expressions for calculating α and β based on the transmission line's per

Lecture 3

Transmission Lines
and in terms of the Line Parameters
Recall:
1 1
= = + + = + 2 + 2

Binomial Expression
1 1 1
+ 2 = 2+ 2 ; >>>
2
Rearrange:
>>>

Thus:
1 1 1 1 1 1
= + 2 + 2 = 2 + 2 2 + 2
2 2
Note: 0

= + + +
2 2 4

: = + +
2 2

then G - negligible (assume) = 2
Express in dB

= 2
+ 2 = 2
+ 8.686 = 4.343 +

then: = rad/unit length


also: in terms of Vp and w
Recall: =phase constant, wavelength constant

Thus = ;=

NOTE:
f velocity of propagation
Vp = f
Also
Vp = Vf * Vc ; Vf = 1, Vp Vc
But
