Transmission lines

Updated February 13, 2009

This page indexes to 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:

Wire transmission lines

Substrate integrated waveguide

Rectax

Coax

Dual-dielectric coax

Coplanar waveguide

Microstrip

Stripline

Slotline (new for February 2009!)

Rectangular waveguide

Dielectric-loaded waveguide

By the way, waveguide is technically NOT a transmission line, but it serves the same purpose!

We don't have 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!
