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:

    “The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The slow one now
    Will later be fast
    As the present now
    Will later be past
    The order is
    Rapidly fadin’.
    And the first one now
    Will later be last
    For the times they are a-changin’.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
