Transmission Lines

Why transmission lines ?


In an electronic system, the delivery of power requires the connection of two
wires between the source and the load.

At low frequencies
power is considered to be delivered to the load through the wire.
circuit elements are discrete Lumped elements - voltage and current
waves affect the entire circuit at the same time.
Physical dimension of electric networks <<< operating

At high frequency region


power is considered to be in electric and magnetic fields that are guided
from p lace to place by some physical structure. Any physical structure that
will guide an electromagnetic wave place to place is called a Transmission
Line.
Distributed parameter network - circuit elements are distributed
throughout the length - voltage and current waves do not affect the entire
circuit at the same time
2

The major deviation from circuit theory with transmission


line - distributed networks is this positional dependence of
voltage and current!
This positional dependence is added when the assumption of
the size of the circuit being small compared to the signaling
wavelength

Efficient point to point transmission of power- TEM waves guided or


directed uses Tx Line

Common guiding structures


Coaxial Tx line
Parallel plate Tx line
Two wire Tx line

General Transmission Line Equation

Both Electric and Magnetic fields are present in the transmission line -These
fields are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation
for TEM mode waves
Electric field is established by a potential difference between two conductors Implies equivalent circuit model must contain capacitor.
Magnetic field induced by current flowing on the line - Implies equivalent
circuit model must contain inductor.

A differential length z of a Tx line is will be described by


R - resistance per unit length /m
L - inductance per unit length H/m
G - conductance per unit length S/m
C capacitance per unit length F/m
