Transmission Lines
 and in terms of the Line Parameters
Recall:
1 1
= = + + = + 2 + 2

Binomial Expression
1 1 1
+ 2 = 2+ 2 ; >>>
2
Rearrange:
>>>
>>>
Thus:
1 1 1 1 1 1
= + 2 + 2 = 2 + 2 2 + 2
2 2
Note: 0

then G - negligible (assume) = 2
Express in dB
1
= 2
+ 2 = 2
+ 8.686 = 4.343 +

then: = rad/unit length

also: in terms of Vp and w
Recall: =phase constant, wavelength constant

Thus = ;=

NOTE:
f velocity of propagation
Vp = f
Also
Vp = Vf * Vc ; Vf = 1, Vp Vc
But
