Distortion
The transmission line will be distortionless

if the attenuation constant is independent of frequency y and also Phase velocity is independent of frequency (or phase constant has to be a linear function of f frequency) )

Prove that for a distortionless transmission

Also prove that

Dispersion
If is not a linear function of frequency then the phase velocity will be different for different frequencies The implication is that the various frequency components of a wideband signal will travel with ith different diff t phase h velocities l iti and so arrive at the receiver end of the transmission line at slightly different times which leads to dispersion

Problems
