Transmission line parameters

Dr. Abdur Razzak

Transmission line parameters: the line parameters are used to model

the transmission line and to perform design calculations. The equivalent circuit model representing the line depends upon the length of the line. Resistance Inductance Capacitance

Depending on the length of transmission line

Short transmission line less than 80 km Medium transmission line between 80 to 240 km Long transmission line more than 240 km

Equivalent circuit model

Short & medium transmission line use approximated lumpedparameter models. Long transmission line use distributed parameters model.
