 Introduction

In this activity, a series of mathematical exercises will be developed, in order to analyze the
behavior of waves in guided media and radiation, a series of general concepts will also be
addressed, which will help to better understand the context of the present activity.

The behavior of electromagnetic waves will be studied, when they are transported by means
such as coaxial cable, and their different behaviors in the medium, according to their
frequency.

Questions: (write with your own words)

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

A transmission line is used to transfer a signal form the generator to the load,
by guiding an electromagnetic wave between two conductors
Transmission lines are systems formed by two insulated conductors separated,
through which an electromagnetic signal, represented in a potential difference
and a current, is sent from one emitting point to another receiver.
Transmission lines are classified using several criteria, usually related to the line
topology.
• Balanced lines
• Unbalanced lines
• Bipolar lines
• Parallel plate lines
• Coaxial lines

2. What is a bounded transmission line?

When the transmission lines are terminated at a load impedance

3. Define the following electrical parameters of transmission lines:

a. Input impedance Z¿ .
The input impedance of the line is understood as the relationship between
the total voltage and the total current

b. Stationary wave ratio VSWR .

The relationship between the maximum voltage and the minimum voltage
 V MAX 1+|Γ |
VSWR= =
V MIN 1−|Γ |
When total reflection is represented, the standing wave relationship becomes
infinite

c. Physical length L and electrical length 𝓁.

Electric line is the relationship between the physical line and the wavelength
Physical length is length of a transmission line.

4. What is the purpose of Smith's Letter in the study of the propagation of waves?
Smith's letter is the graphic representation, in the Gaussian plane of the
reflection coefficient, of the normalized resistance and reactance. As a graphic
tool, Smith's letter allows obtaining some parameters of transmission lines and
solving impedance adaptation problems, avoiding operations with complex
numbers

δp=7.379 x 10−5 m
a=0.35 mm , δp=7.379 x 10−5 and t=24 μm

medium frequency formulas are used:

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

Using the formula of the propagation constant:

With the values of the R, L, G and C, solve:
γ =0.00037+0.02659 j
Then we find the values of alpha (Attenuation constant) and beta (Phase constant):
α =0.00037 Np/m
β=0.02659 Rad /m
And the formula of the Characteristic impedance:

Z o=187.66276−2.59697 jOhm

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

α dB / Km.
With the formula of the propagation velocity V p, solve:

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.
