7.1 Introduction
High reactance effect
Consider a 10-V ac source is connected to a 50 load by a
small copper wire of 1 mm radius
Assume that the dc resistance of the wire is R=1m and
inductance of L=0.1 H
At 10 GHz, inductive reactance is jXL=jL6283 and
hence all the ac signal will die out in the wire itself
The load will not receive any signal
Hence we need special devices which will take these
signals from the source to the load

7.1 Introduction
Radiation effect
An accelerating or decelerating charge radiates
electromagnetic energy
Besides the energy radiated from a current carrying
conductor depends on the frequency of current flowing
You might have observed this when you study Herz dipole
(an infinitesimally current carrying element)

7.1.1 Introduction
What is a transmission line?
A structure, which can guide electrical energy from one point to
another
Generally, a transmission line is
a two parallel conductor system
one end of which is connected to a source and
the other end is connected to a load
Examples:
coaxial cables
waveguides
microstrip lines

5/20/2013
7.1 Introduction
Size effect
Size of commonly used lump elements like capacitor,
inductor and resistor are of the order of cm
Now this size is comparable to the microwave wavelength
Hence the phase {l=(2f/c)l} of the electrical signal might
vary along the length of the device
For instance, consider a parallel plate capacitor
We assume capacitor conductor plate is an equipotential
surface
5/20/2013
7.1 Introduction
But this is not true at microwave frequencies
Besides radiation also increases the problem
So we cannot use such capacitors at high frequencies
So we will see later that a section of a transmission line could

7.1 Introduction
7.1.2 Causal effect
What is causal effect?
EM wave requires a finite time to travel along an electrical
circuit
Since no EM wave can travel with infinite velocity
(What is the maximum speed?)
11
5/20/2013
7.1 Introduction
If the time period of the EM wave or signal
(T=1/f) >> the transit time (tr),
we may ignore this effect

Causal effect becomes important
when the length of the line (l) becomes comparable to the wavelength
()
As the frequency increases,
the wavelength reduces, and
the Causal effect becomes more evident
12
5/20/2013
7.1 Introduction
7.1.3 Distributed vs lumped elements
To overcome the effect of transit time or causality or size
effect (more appropriate to use),
one can chop off the transmission line into small sections
such that for each section, this causality effect is minuscule
At high frequencies,
the circuit elements cannot be defined for the whole
transmission line
instead it has to be defined for a unit length of the line
13
5/20/2013
7.1 Introduction
Analysis of a transmission lines must be carried out using
the concept of distributed elements not as
lumped elements
frequencies
But, we can still employ lump element analysis of
transmission lines by
chopping off small sections of the line
so that the Causal effect is negligible in the chopped off sections

the orbits of the electrons change
and
thus distorts the orbits of the electrons
A change in the path of electrons requires more energy,
introducing a power loss

power is dissipated in the object and
is lost
