Recap
• Transmission lines has distributed parameters R,L,C
and G along the entire length of the line.
EC305.63 4
Transmission line losses:
• Practically ,in transmission lines there are losses.
• Transmission line can not pass all the energy that enters
without loss.
EC305.63 5
Radiation loss
EC305.63 6
• Radiation loss become a severe problem with greater
spacing between conductors.
EC305.63 7
Conductor heating loss
contd..
EC305.63 8
• It increases with frequency because of skin effect.
EC305.63 9
Dielectric heating loss
Contd..
EC305.63 10
• Dielectric heating loss increases with frequency in the
case of solid dielectric.
• Open wire line and air dielectric coaxial cable have better
performance than solid dielectric cable.
EC305.63 11
Importance of losses
• It is expressed as
dB per 100ft or dB 100meters.
EC305.63 12
Reflection loss
EC305.63 13
summary
EC305.63 14
• Parallel wire lines have more radiation loss.
EC305.63 15
• Why does a higher impedance line have lower copper loss
than a lower impedance line, all things being equal?

PROBLEM :
A transmitter is required to deliver 100W to an antenna
through 45 m of coaxial cable with a loss of 4 dB /100 m.
what must be the output power of the transmitter,
assuming the line is matched?
Given data: cable length=45m,cable loss=4dB
P0=100W,Pin=?
The loss in dB is=45m×4dB /100 m.
=1.8dB
Pin/pout=antilog (1.8/10) =1.51
Transmitter power pin=1.51×100 w=151 w.
