4.3 Theory & Background


4.3.1 Transmission line Model
Transmission lines play an important role in designing RF and microwave networks. As we
know at high frequency wavelength of the signal is smaller than the dimension of the
components, even a small piece of wire acts as an inductor and affects the performance of the
network. We will see model of a transition line and analytically define several important
transmission line parameters such as transmission and reflection constant, phase constant ,
voltage standing wave ratio, return loss, velocity factor and group delay. There are some
popular transmission line such as: coaxial lines, Microstrip lines, strip lines and waveguides.
Q1. Measure and simulate the implemented a RLC series circuit using ADS. Also measure
the reflection coefficients and VSWR from 100−1000 MHz in 100 MHz step size. Set the
value ofR=55 Ω, L=15 nH ∧C=20 pF . Fill out the following table. [0.5 Mark]

4.3.2 Physical Transmission line Model


Free space can be used for the propagation of radio signals across long distances but may not
be as useful for the point to point connection and isolation of specific RF signals.
Transmission media in FR and microwave circuit and system design are microstrip, coaxial
and waveguide transmission line. Everyone has different mode of operations like pure TEM,
quasi TEM and non TEM propagation modes.
Q2. Consider the model of a one inch and a three inch length of the waveguide as used in
the X Band satellite transmit system. Display the S-Parameter of the waveguides from
4 ¿ 8 GHz .Attach plot of S21 for one inch length and S21 for three inch length results in row1,
