9.11 SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRANSMISSION LINES

Any cable or wire is treated as a transmission line if its length is greater that 1/10 th of the wavelength of the signal travelling through it. Various transmission line types are the coaxial cable, strip line, micro-strip, twisted pair, balanced line, star quad, twin lead, lecher lines, wave guides, single-wire line, optical fiber, acoustic transmission lines, etc. Some important applications of transmission lines are as follows:

  1. Transmission of high-frequency signals with minimum power loss.

  2. Transmission lines function as a filter. For this filter, an open-circuited or short-circuited transmission line is wired in the filter. These are called stub filters.

  3. Transmission lines are used as pulse generators. For example, Blumlein transmission line, etc.
