 Introduction

In introducing the document's usually described, and a brief explanation or summary thereof
is given. A reader to read the introduction should be able to get an idea about the content of
the text before reading itself. (4 to 10 lines).
 Questions: (write with your own words)

1. What do you understand by transmission line? Mention some types.

what is a transmission line a transmission line is a distributed circuit element. unlike a
conventional low frequency circuit, the volteges and currents on a transmission line
vary with longitudinal position because they experience a phase (or time) delay as the
wave propagates from one end of the line to the other.
Lossy Transmission Line
Low-Loss Line
Distortionless Line
Lossless Line
Terminated Lossless Line
2. What is a bounded transmission line?
Transmission lines confine electromagnetic energy in a region of the space limited by
the physical environment that constitutes the line itself, a difference of the waves that
propagate in the air, with no other barrier than the obstacles they encounter on their
way. The line is equipped by electrical conductors with a determined geometric
arrangement that conditions the characteristics of the waves electromagnetic in it.

3. Define the following electrical parameters of transmission lines:

a. Input impedance Z¿ :
The input impedance of an amplifier defines its input characteristics with respect to
the current and voltage they seek at the input terminals of an amplifier The input
impedance, Z IN or the input resistance as it is often called, is an important
parameter in the design of a transistor amplifier and allows the amplifiers to be
characterized according to their effective input and output impedances, as well as
their powers and current ratings. The value of the impedance of an amplifier is
especially important for analysis, especially when individual amplifier stages are
cascaded one after the other to minimize signal distortion.
b. Stationary wave ratio VSWR .
The VSWR of an AIS transponder is a measure of the level of standing waves present
in the antenna wire (feeder). Standing waves are signals that are not radiated into
the air by the antenna (load), but reflected by the cable to the transponder (source).
In an ideal world, all the power sent to the antenna was transmitted through the air
to other boats, but this is possible if the impedance of the source (AC resistance),
feeder, and load are identical (50 ohms).

c. Physical length L and electrical length 𝓁.

4. What is the purpose of Smith's Letter in the study of the propagation of waves?
 Application exercises:

1. A coaxial line has the following characteristics:

Geometric parameters: a=0.2 mm b=20 mm t=( ¿+10) μm
8
Conductor properties: (conductivity) σ c =4.3 x 10 Sm/m
Properties of the insulator: σ d=1 x 10 Sm/m ϵ r=2.1 μr =1
−13

Applied signal frequency: f =CCC KHz.

a. Calculate the electrical parameters R L C G.

b. Using the distributed model, calculate the propagation parameters α , β , γ ∧Z 0 .

c. Calculate the propagation velocity V p, the wavelength λ and the attenuation

α dB / Km.

Conclusions
Conclusion 1:

Conclusion 2:

The conclusions should be written with their own words and should focus on the
concepts explored, learned, discovered and practiced in the development of the
activity, it is suggested to present a conclusion by topic, the result of learning
obtained as evidence of conceptual assimilation.

To obtain a good writing it is suggested to read the written several times, correcting
and adjusting the text until obtaining a clear and coherent postulate. Avoid
superficiality and simplicity.
