DISTRIBUTED ANALYSIS: TRANSMISSION LINES AND Z 0
t = t1
Point X
t = t2
Point Y
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Length Y-X
Point X Point Y
Rising edge
moves down
the cable
• The capacitance is CL x (Y-X)
• The voltage is the voltage swing, call it “V”
• Charge = (Y-X) CLV
HOW FAST DOES IT GO?
1
• Maxwell’s formula for speed is
1
• So the speed down this particular lineC L is
L L
• … then divide
