Derive a wave equation
Understand the effect of travelling wave phenomena when line is terminated through resistance, inductance and capacitance
Draw the Bewley Lattice Diagram
5.1 INTRODUCTION
When a transmission line is connected to a voltage source, the whole of the line is not instantly energized. Some time elapses between the initial and the final steady states. This is due to the distributed parameters of the transmission lines. The process is similar to launching a voltage wave, which travels along the length of the line at a certain velocity. The travelling voltage wave ...
