Transmission lines

Updated November 24, 2007

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 (rewritten for December 2007!)

Wavenumber (new for December 2007!)

Characteristic impedance

Transmission line model (new for December 2007!

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

Rectangular waveguide

Dielectric-loaded waveguide (new for December 2007!)

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!
