Draw the equivalent circuit of a transmission line and hence write the transmission line equations for an elemental section of a transmission line.
The equivalent circuit of a transmission line for an incremental portion, of a transmission line has been drawn below:
Transmission line equations:
Let us consider an elemental portion, of a two wire transmission line as shown in the above figure:
By applying KVL we get:
Applying KCL at node P we get:
Now, as Vs(z) and Is(z) are the phasor forms of V(z,t) and I(z,t) respectively
Equations 5 and 6 are the transmission line voltage and current wave equations.
