2. TRANSMISSION LINES
Transmission Lines
A transmission line connects a generator to a load
Transmission lines include:
• Two parallel wires
• Coaxial cable
• Microstrip line
• Optical fiber
• Waveguide
• etc.
Transmission Line Effects
Delayed by l/c
At t = 0, and for f = 1 kHz , if:
(1) l = 5 cm: (2) But if l = 20 km:
Dispersion and Attenuation
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
Electric Field E is radial
Magnetic Field H is azimuthal

Pay Attention to UNITS!
Wave Equations for Transmission Line
Impedance and Shunt Admittance of the line
Solution of Wave Equations (cont.)
Proposed form of solution:
Using:
It follows
that:
Characteristic Impedance of the Line (ohm)
So What does V+ and V- Represent?
Pay att. To
Direction
Make sure you
know how we
got this!
Solution of Wave Equations (cont.)
In general (each component has
Magnitude and Phase):
wave along +z because coefficients of t and z
have opposite signs
wave along –z because coefficients of t and z have
the same sign
So, V(z) and I(z) have two parts:
But what are Vo+ and Vo- ?
ß We are interested in Sinusoidal

What is the voltage/current magnitude at different points of the
line in the presence of load??
Voltage Reflection Coefficient
Consider looking from the Load point of view
At the load (z = 0):

Normalized load
impedance
The smaller

Expressing wave in phasor form:
¨  Remember:
¨  If lossless

All of these wave representations
are along the
Transmission Line
Special Line Conditions (Lossless)
¨  Matching line
¤  ZL=Zo àΓ=0; Vref=0
¨  Open Circuit
¤  ZL=INF àΓ=1; Vref=Vinc
¨  Short Circuit

Standing Waves
Finding Voltage Magnitude
Note: When there is no REFLECTION Coef. Of Ref. =
0 à No standing wave!
Remember: Standing wave is created
due to interference between the
traveling waves (incident & reflected)
When lossless!
We are interested to know what
happens to the magnitude of
the |V| as such interference is
created!
Standing Wave
http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-tlstand.html
Due to standing wave the received wave at the load is now different

Remember max current occurs
where minimum voltage occurs!
Standing Wave Patterns for 3 Types of Loads
(Matched, Open, Short)
