Transmission lines

Updated February 27, 2010

This page indexes our ever-expanding material on microwave transmission lines, which resides on many separate pages. Here's some "generic" transmission line topics:

Light, phase and group velocities

Wavenumber

Characteristic impedance

Transmission line model

Transmission line loss

Propagation constant

Skin depth

Group delay

Below are some specific types of transmission lines that we have content on:

Coax

Coplanar waveguide

Microstrip

Multi-dielectric coax

Rectax

Slotline

Stripline

Wire transmission lines

By the way, waveguide is technically NOT a transmission line, but it serves the same purpose. Here's our content on various types of waveguides:

Circular waveguide

Dielectric-loaded waveguide

Double-ridged waveguide

Finline

Parallel plate waveguide

Rectangular waveguide

Substrate integrated waveguide

Here's some other transmission line relate topics

Slow-wave structures

Nonlinear transmission lines

We don't have much material on twisted pair, finline, slotline, double-ridged waveguide, circular waveguide or tallguide... maybe your company would like to sponsor one of these? Contact us!
