source with an oscillation frequency f . Assuming the velocity of wave propagation
on the line is c, for which of the following situations is it reasonable to ignore the
presence of the transmission line in the solution of the circuit:
(a) l = 20 cm, f = 20 kHz,
(b) l = 50 km, f = 60 Hz,
(c) l = 20 cm, f = 600 MHz,
(d) l = 1 mm, f = 100 GHz.
Solution: A transmission line is negligible when l/! ≤ 0.01.

(b) Solution via Module 2.2:
Problem 2.7 Find ! , " , up , and Z0 for the two-wire line of Problem 2.2. Compare
results with those based on CD Module 2.1. Include a printout of the screen display.
Solution: From Problem 2.2:
R! = 3.71 #/m,
L! = 1.36 × 10−6 H/m,
G! = 1.85 × 10−6 S/m,
C! = 2.13 × 10−11 F/m.
At 2 GHz:

Problem 2.12 Generate a plot of Z0 as a function of strip width w, over the range
from 0.05 mm to 5 mm, for a microstrip line fabricated on a 0.7-mm–thick substrate
with !r = 9.8.
Solution:
Problem 2.13 In addition to not dissipating power, a lossless line has two important
features: (1) it is dispertionless (µp is independent of frequency) and (2) its
characteristic impedance Z0 is purely real. Sometimes, it is not possible to design
a transmission line such that R! " ! L! and G! " ! C ! , but it is possible to choose the
dimensions of the line and its material properties so as to satisfy the condition
R!C ! = L! G!
(distortionless line).
Such a line is called a distortionless line because despite the fact that it is not lossless,
it does nonetheless possess the previously mentioned features of the loss line. Show
that for a distortionless line,

Problem 2.19 A 50-! lossless transmission line is terminated in a load with
impedance ZL = (30 − j50) !. The wavelength is 8 cm. Find:
(a) the reflection coefficient at the load,
(b) the standing-wave ratio on the line,
(c) the position of the voltage maximum nearest the load,
(d) the position of the current maximum nearest the load.
(e) Verify quantities in parts (a)–(d) using CD Module 2.4. Include a printout of
the screen display.
Solution:
(a) From Eq. (2.59),
"=

= −0.89 cm + 4.0 cm = 3.11 cm.
(d) A current maximum occurs at a voltage minimum, and from Eq. (2.72),
dmin = dmax − $ /4 = 3.11 cm − 8 cm/4 = 1.11 cm.
(e) The problem statement does not specify the frequency, so in Module 2.4 we
need to select the combination of f and &r such that $ = 5 cm. With &r chosen as 1,
