Characteristic Impedance of a coax line
(138/√Er)⦁log(D/d)
D=Outer Conductor diameter
d=inner conductor diameter
Er=Dielectric constant
Dielectric Constant of Polyethylene
2.27
Line Impedance of a parallel-strip line spaced 1cm apart with length 50cm
Zo=377(w/l)
=377(1cm/50cm)
=7.54 Ω
Average power rating of RG 58/Cu
50W
Coax used for high temperature
RG-211A
Converting between dBm, dBrnC, TLP(transmission level point) and dBrnCO
dBrnC=dBm+90
TLP(dB)=dBrnC-dBrnCO
You are measuring noise in a voice channel at a -4 dB test point level, the meter reads -73dBm, convert the reading into dBrnCO
dBrnC=dBm+90
dBrnC=-73dBm+90
dBrnC=17 dBrnC
TLP=dBrnC-dBrnCO
-4dB=17 dBrnC - dBrnCO
dBrnCO=21 dBrnCO
Impedance inversion can be obtained by
a quarter wave line
The dielectric constants of materials commonly used in transmission lines range from about
1.2 to 2.8
Typically, the velocity factor (Vf) of the materials used in transmission lines range from
0.6-0.9
For an air dielectric two wire line, the minimum characteristic impedance value is____
Zo=(276/√ϵr)⦁log(2D/d) for minimum char. impedance, D=d therefore, Zo=(276/√1)⦁log(2) Zo=83Ω
Reflection coefficient formula
t=(Zl-Zo)/(Zl+Zo)
Zl=Load impedance
Zo=Characteristic impedance
Typical characteristic impedance of RG-8A/u
50Ω
Characteristic impedance of a quarter-wave transformer
Zo=(276/√ϵr)⦁log(2D/d)
