Abstract This rigorous treatment of transmission lines presents all the essential concepts in a clear and straightforward manner. Key principles are demonstrated by numerous practical worked examples and illustrations, and complex mathematics is avoided throughout. Early chapters cover pusle propagation, sinusoidal waves and coupled lines, all set within the context of a simple loss-less equivalent circuit. Later chapters then develop this basic model by demonstrating the derivation of circuit parametes, and the use of Maxwell's equations to extend this theory to makor transmission lines. Finally, a discussion of phtogonic concepts and properties provides valuable insights into the fundamental physics underpinning transmission lines. Covering DC to optical frequencies, this accessible text is an invaluabe resource for students, researchers, adn professionals in electrical, RF, and microwave engineering.
