Chapter 7

Transmission Lines

Transmission lines are nothing but guided conducting structures which are used in power distribution at low frequencies, in communications and computer networks at higher frequencies.

The main aim of this chapter is to provide the overall concepts of Transmission Line theory. They include:

  • transmission lines and applications
  • equivalent circuits
  • primary and secondary constants
  • lossless and distortionless lines
  • loading of lines and RF lines
  • reflection coefficient and VSWR
  • stubs and smith charts
  • solved problems, points/formulae to remember, objective and multiple choice questions and exercise problems.

Human beings and animals consist of several ideal transmission lines which are noiseless, attenuationless ...
