sinusoidal steady state

This is the third and final article discussing four different circuit models of transmission lines in sinusoidal steady state. This article uses Model 4 to determine the locations of the minima and maxima of standing waves. This determination is first done analytically, followed by the graphical method using the Smith chart.

This column continues a series on transmission line circuit models, exploring two additional models. It derives equations for voltage characteristics and standing waves, building upon concepts introduced in the previous installment.

This article discusses two of four circuit models for transmission lines in sinusoidal steady state. Model 1 is used for solving equations, while Model 2 introduces standing waves. The author explains their applications and differences.
