telegraphers equation

  • Impedance Matching of Transmission Lines and Oscillator Circuits

    A transmission line is attached to an oscillating circuit and impedance matched.For technical applications it is extremely important to be able to transfer as much energy from a transmission line to some load. In this problem we will learn how this is achieved and understand the basic principles signal reflection and impedance matching.

  • The Transmission Line - Deriving the Telegrapher Equation

    A part of a lumped transmission line model.We consider a transmission line in a lumped model. This will allow you to find the so-called telegrapher equation which describes the signal propagation along transmission lines in general. You will also see how such devices can even also be used as quantum bits.
