EC403 TRANSMISSION LINES AND NETWORKS

Objective of the Course:

To become familiar with propagation of signals through lines

Understand signal propagation at Radio frequencies
Understand radio propagation in guided systems
To become familiar with resonators

UNIT - I
Time and Frequency Domain Analysis: Network elements- Network function- driving point and transfer
impedances and their properties- Poles and zeros of network function, Time domain response for pole-zero
plot. Immittance loci of RLC networks frequency response of RLC networks- frequency response from
pole-zero plots. Synthesis of one port networks- synthesis of RL, RC, LC by Foster and Cauer method.
UNIT - II
Network Filters: Classification of filters - characteristic impedance in the pass band and stop band,
constant K filters - m-derived filters BPF and BSF. Insertion loss and reflection factor- Attenuators
Equalizer - T section and Pi section filters Twin T networks, Bridged T and lattice networks.
UNIT - III
Transmission Line Theory: Transmission line equation Primary and secondary constants - Infinite lineattenuation and phase constants- skin effect- wavelength- velocity of propagation- group velocity. Waveform
distortion- distortion less transmission linetelephone cable- inductance loading of telephone cables. Open
and short circuit lines.
UNIT - IV
Transmission Line at Radio Frequencies: Line with any termination- Input impedance, input impedance of
a lossless line, Reflection coefficient- Standing wave ratio. Ultra high frequency lines- Characteristics
impedance, SWR, Smith chart- applications of smith chart- Quarter wave transformer-Stub matching- Single
and double.
UNIT - V
Wave Guides: Rectangular wave guides: Introduction, application of Maxwells equations to the rectangular
waveguide, TEmn & TMmn modes in rectangular wave guides, impossibility of TEM waves in wave guides,
attenuation of TE & TM modes. Circular waveguides: Introduction, Bessels equation and Bessel functions,
solution of a field equations, using cylindrical coordinates.
