1) R = G = 0 => lossless. But isnt R = 1/G, thus R = 0
=> G = and vice versa?
2) Lossless line => Z
o
= (L/C) is real. But shouldnt
real load (e.g., a resistor) lossy?
Lossless TL (R=G=0, =0, no attenuation)
Characteristic Impedance
Solutions of the Wave equations
Converting back to the time domain, the voltage waveform:
where is the phase angle of the complex voltage
Phase velocity: a fixed phase point on the wave travels.
Wavelength: two successive maxima on the wave at a fixed instant of time.

Power Flow and Return loss
When the load is mismatched, then not all of the available power from the generator is
delivered to the load. This loss is called return loss (RL), and is defined (in dB) as:
dB | | log 20 I = RL
Notes:
1) RL is defined as a positive value (for lossy termination) as < 1.
2) RL, although is called a return loss, is not power (thus its unit is dB and not
dBm or dBW) but a power ratio = reflected power/incident power.
3) In dB terms, 10log(P
reflected
) = 10log(P
in
) RL, if the powers are in dBm, then
P
reflected
(dBm) = P
in
(dBm) RL (dB).
4) In other words, the higher the value will indicate a better matched network.
Insertion loss

No reflection for z>0, the voltage for z>0 is outgoing only and can be written as

Insertion loss
transmission coefficient between two pints in a circuit is often expressed in dB as
the insertion loss, IL,
dB | | log 20 T IL =
Notes:
1) IL is defined as a positive value (for lossy termination) as T < 1.
2) IL, although is called a insertion loss, is not power (thus its unit is dB and
not dBm or dBW).
3) It other words, the lower the value will indicate the better power transfer.

But then why is it that, in earlier years, the impression was matched load gives
maximum power transfer?
Hints: This is because, at that time, Z

is always assumed to be equal to Z

.
Insert Z
