Characteristic Impedance - Lossless Line

Lossless Line

For a lossless line, R and G are both zero, so the equation for characteristic impedance reduces to:

The imaginary term j has also canceled out, making Z0 a real expression, and so is purely resistive.

Famous quotes containing the word line:

    That’s the down-town frieze,
    Principally the church steeple,
    A black line beside a white line;
    And the stack of the electric plant,
    A black line drawn on flat air.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
