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:
“If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
