✦ Synopsis
Contrary to procedures followed in many books, the author develops the equations for a transmission line from Maxwell's equations; these are then specialized for the cases of coaxial and twin lead lines. Emphasis throughout the book is on high frequency applications, where the line can serve as an interconnector and/or as a circuit element. Following a chapter devoted to applications at very high frequencies, there are developed the equations for propagation in the principal mode. The characteristics of transmission lines are next considered, with special problems pertaining to: conductor and dielectric assemblies; skin effect; line parameters; effects of small changes in dimensions; and temperature rise in solid dielectric lines. Chapters on terminated lines, resonant lines, and impedance transformations close the book.
Engineers who are concerned with experimental applications of transmission lines at high frequencies will find much of interest in this short work.
