In the lossless case, it is possible to show that = + + and = + where in this special case, is a real quantity that may depend on frequency and is the characteristic impedance of the transmission line, which, for a lossless line is given by = and and are arbitrary constants of integration, which are determined by the two boundary conditions ...
The telegrapher's equations (or just telegraph equations) are a pair of linear differential equations which describe the voltage and current on an electrical transmission line with distance and time. They were developed by Oliver Heaviside who created the transmission line model , and are based on Maxwell's equations .
The analysis of lossless lines provides an accurate approximation for real transmission lines that simplifies the mathematics considered in modeling transmission lines. A lossless line is defined as a transmission line that has no line resistance and no dielectric loss. This would imply that the conductors act like perfect conductors and the ...
Heaviside's model of a transmission line. A transmission line can be represented as a distributed-element model of its primary line constants as shown in the figure. The primary constants are the electrical properties of the cable per unit length and are: capacitance C (in farads per meter), inductance L (in henries per meter), series resistance R (in ohms per meter), and shunt conductance G ...
From the definition of (angular) wavenumber for transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves in lossless media, = = For a transmission line, the telegrapher's equations tells us that the wavenumber must be proportional to frequency for the transmission of the wave to be undistorted in the time domain. This includes, but is not limited to, the ideal ...
Looking towards a load through a length l of lossless transmission line, the normalized impedance changes as l increases, following the blue circle. At l=λ/4, the normalized impedance is reflected about the centre of the chart. Standing waves on a transmission line with an open-circuit load (top), and a short-circuit load (bottom).
A wave travelling rightward along a lossless transmission line. Black dots represent electrons, and arrows show the electric field. The lossless line approximation is the least accurate model; it is often used on short lines when the inductance of the line is much greater than its resistance. For this approximation, the voltage and current are ...
The lossless line approximation is the least accurate; it is typically used on short lines where the inductance is much greater than the resistance. For this approximation, the voltage and current are identical at the sending and receiving ends.
