Distributed constants
• Lumped constants are inadequate models of extended circuit elements at high frequency.
• Examples are telephone lines, guitar strings, and organ pipes.
• We shall develop the model for an electrical transmission line.
• Also a model for sound traveling in a pipe, and show how they are equivalent.
Ideal transmission line model
A voltage v is applied between two wires comprising a transmission line. A current i+ enters one wire. An equal current i- returns from the other. This voltage and current generate electric and magnetic fields around the wires, shown respectively as dashed and dot-dashed lines in a cross sectional view on the right. In turn, these fields manifest themselves as a series inductance L and a parallel capacitance C per length x of the transmission line, depicted by the circuit component overlay on the left.

As dx0, the second term goes to zero, while the constant first term is simply L/C, the inductance and capacitance per unit length of the line. Thus, which is called the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.

Consider a short segment dx of an infinite line. Its measurable input impedance Z1 is identical to Z2, that of the next segment. Thus we write, then let Z2 = Z1 = Z0 and simplify:

• Wires (except superconductors) have some resistance R per unit length.
• Likewise, most insulators have some conductance G per unit length.

Traveling waves
The propagation constant = + i where is the attenuation constant and is the phase constant, provides a complete description of a wave on a transmission line. If VB = 0, we have a pure (forward) traveling wave. The amplitude of such a wave is plottedhere over a 1 [m] length of transmission line for = 2 [nepers/m] and = 16[radians/m]. The neper is a dimensionless natural logarithmic unit of measure. Thus, specifies the exponential decay rate of a wave, while specifies its spatial angular frequency.

If Zl = Z0 at the load, i.e., v = 0, we have seen that no signal energy is reflected. Conversely, if Zl = (open circuit) or 0 (short circuit), v = ±1, respectively; in either case, all the energy is reflected, resulting in a pure standing wave, which over time appears not to move, rather just to oscillate in place. For intermediate values of v, the voltage standing wave ratio VSWR = (1 + |v|)/(1 - |v|) is the ratio between the max and min of the voltage envelope. A plot for v = 0.5 is shown.Figure 2-3 from Matick, Transmission Lines for Digital and Communication Networks, Mcgraw Hill, 1969.

Acoustic plane wave propagation
• Same as wave in a pipe:• c2 = K/; where c is the speed of sound.
– c = 332 [m/s] at 0 [degC] at 50% RH.– dc/dT = 0.551 [m/s/degC].
• Solutions are of the form– where s = j for temporal sine waves.– Factoring out time, just as for transmission lines.

Homework problem
10 [m]
100 [Ohms]
1 [V] 318 [pF]Vin
10 [MHz]
A 10 [m] length of transmission line with 100 [pF/m] capacitance and 250 [nH/m] inductance in series with a 1 [/m] wire resistance is driven by a 10 [MHz] sine wave from a 1 [V] 100 [Ohm] Thevenin source, and loaded by a 318 [pF] capacitor. Calculate the complex input voltage Vin of the transmission line.
Extra credit: plot the magnitude and phase of the voltage as a function of position on the transmission line.
