Topic outline
-
This part of the course tackles the following learning outcomes:
- The student is able to explain the behaviour of a radio-frequency signal in transmission lines (such as signal propagation, attenuation, reflection), and
- He/she can calculate and simulate (AWR) related circuit parameters (such as voltage, current, power, characteristic impedance, loss, reflection coefficient) related to transmission lines,
- He/she is able to design transmission lines (such as microstrip lines and coaxial cable) with calculations and simulations (AWR).
In this topic one should command the following subjects of the course book:
- Transmission line model, telegraph equations and its solution (Pozar Chapter 2.1)
- Wave propagation along a transmission line and characteristic impedance (Pozar Chapter 2.1 and 2.7)
- Rectangular waveguide (Pozar Chapter 3.3)
- Coaxial cable (Pozar Chapters 2.2 and 3.5)
- Microstrip line (Pozar Chapter 3.8)
- Voltage reflection from an impedance discontinuity and standing wave along a transmission line (Pozar Chapter 2.3)
- The student is able to explain the behaviour of a radio-frequency signal in transmission lines (such as signal propagation, attenuation, reflection), and
