The Condition
A transmission line can be represented as a distributed element model of its primary line constants as shown in the figure. The primary constants are the electrical properties of the cable per unit length and are: capacitance C (in farads per meter), inductance L (in henries per meter), series resistance R (in ohms per meter), and shunt conductance G (in siemens per meter). The series resistance and shunt conductivity cause losses in the line; for an ideal transmission line, .
The Heaviside condition is satisfied when
This condition is for no distortion, but not for no loss.

Famous quotes containing the word condition:
“Manners are of such great consequence to the novelist that any kind will do. Bad manners are better than no manners at all, and because we are losing our customary manners, we are probably overly conscious of them; this seems to be a condition that produces writers.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“The “kingdom of heaven” is a condition of the heart—not something that comes “above the earth” or “after death.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
