Transmission Line Block

Block Selection Tree: Ideal TLTransmission line

 

This block implements the generalized transmission line.

 

For transmission lines consisting of two isolated, loss-free conductors in a homogenious medium, the longitudinal field components are zero. Assuming z as the direction of propagation, the transversal field components show a dependency (regarding time-harmonic fields):

 

where

 

Therefore, the phase velocity equals the phase velocity in free space (filled with the transmission line medium).

 

The block is characterized by the properties listed below. To modify the values, use the Block Properties – Parameters dialog box. The common transmission line properties are defined by a Reference Block.

 

Length

Length of the transmission line (a negative value is equivalent to the corresponding positive value with the de-embed switch set)
