Transmission Lines
A transmission line connects a generator to a load
Delayed by l/c

Types of Transmission Modes
TEM
(Transverse
Electromagnetic)
: Electric and
magnetic fields
are orthogonal to
one another, and
both are
orthogonal to
direction of
propagation
Example of TEM Mode

complex propagation constant
constant
Phase constant
Combining the two equations leads to:
Using:
It follows

The Smith Chart
Developed in 1939 by P. W.
Smith as a graphical tool to
analyze and design
transmission-line circuits
Today, it is used to
characterize the
performance of microwave
