PRINCIPLES OF TRANSMISSION LINESLEARNING OBJECTIVESUpon completion of this chapter, you will be able to:1.State what a transmission line is and how transmission lines are used.2.Explain the operating principles of transmission lines.3.Describe the five types of transmission lines.4.State the length of a transmission line.5.Explain the theory of the transmission line.6.Define the term LUMPED CONSTANTS in relation to a transmission line.7.Define the term DISTRIBUTED CONSTANTS in relation to a transmission line.8.Define LEAKAGE CURRENT.9.Describe how the electromagnetic lines of force around a transmission line are affected by thedistributed constants.10.Define the term CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE and explain how it affects the transfer ofenergy along a transmission line.11.State how the energy transfer along a transmission line is affected by characteristic impedance andthe infinite line.12.Identify the cause of and describe the characteristics of reflections on a transmission line.13.Define the term STANDING WAVES as applied to a transmission line.14.Describe how standing waves are produced on a transmission line and identify the types ofterminations.15.Describe the types of standing-wave ratios
