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:
“It may be the more
That no line of her writing have I,
Nor a thread of her hair,
No mark of her late time as dame in her dwelling, whereby
I may picture her there.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
