Circuit analysis is a simplification of Maxwell's equations using
the assumption that the physical dimensions of the network are muc
h smaller than the electrical wavelength (d<<λ).

But as frequency increases, wavelength decreases (since all EM wav


es propagate at the speed of light), and this assumption becomes f
alse.

The transmission line is a distributed-parameter network, where


voltages and currents can vary in magnitude and phase over the len
gth of the line.

The transmission line is often represented as a two-wire line

The transmission line is divided into segments of length ∆z, which are
modeled by the same lumped element model.

The units of the circuit parameters are measured per unit length and the
voltage and current can therefore vary along the length of the line.

R: series resistance (Ω/m) L: series inductance


(H/m) G: shunt conductance (S/m) C: shunt capacitance

Transmission Line Equations

Transmission

Kirchoff’s Voltage and Current law can be applied to the lumped circuit
model, giving 2 equations involving current and voltage at either end of
the differential line segment.

equations in the time domain

These equations can be transformed to the frequency domain to give the


ordinary differential equations:

Note that the differential equations on the previous slide are coupled.
We can therefore eliminate either V(z) or I(z).

Doing so yields either of t


he differential equations:

where
γ = α +
jβ =
(R +
jϖ L)(G +
jϖ c)
is known as the propagation constant.

α is the attenuation constant and represents the rate of decay of the


wave amplitude with distance.
β is the phase constant and represents the relative phase shift with r
espect to position along the line.

The second order differential equations on the previous
slide should be familiar as the wave equation, which has the well known
solutions:

where e −γz represents wave propagation in the +z direction and


e +γz represents wave propagation in the −z direction.

Voltages and currents therefore propagate along the line as traveling


waves.

The preceding general case can be simplified considerably for lossless l
ines, which can be used to approximate practical cases where the loss is
often very small and can be neglected. In that case, R=G=0, and lossles
