Figure 2.1:A transmission line is a two-port network connecting a generator circuit at the sending end to a load at the receiving end.
Figure 2.2:Generator connected to an RC circuit through a transmission line of length l.
Figure 2.3: A dispersionless lines does not distort signals passing through it regardless of its length, whereas a dispersive line distorts the shape of the input pulses because the different frequency components propagate at different velocities. The degree of distortion is proportional to the length of the dispersive line.
Figure 2.4:A few examples of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) and higher-order transmission lines.
Figure 2.5:In a coaxial line, the electric field lines are in the radial direction between the inner and outer conductors, and the magnetic field forms circles around the inner conductor.
Figure 2.6: Regardless of its actual shape, a TEM transmission line is represented by the parallel-wire configuration shown in (a). To analyze the voltage and current relations, the line is subdivided into small differential sections (b), each of which is then represented by an equivalent circuit (c).
