This multimedia eBook establishes a solid foundation in the essential principles of how signals interact with transmission lines, how the physical design of interconnects affects transmission line properties, and how to interpret single-ended and differential time domain reflection (TDR) measurements to extract important figures of merits and avoid common mistakes. This book presents an intuitive understanding of transmission lines. Instructional videos are provided in every chapter that cover important aspects of the interconnect design and characterization process. This video eBook helps establish foundations for designing and characterizing the electrical properties of interconnects to explain in a simplified way how signals propagate and interact with interconnects and how the physical design of transmission structures will impact performance. Never be intimidated by impedance or differential pairs again.

Does that transmission line, which connects your antenna and transmitter, seem like a mystery to you? Or perhaps your have other questions: Just how much of the transmitter's rated output power actually gets to the antenna? How much power is consumed by the line itself? Just what is the input impedance of the antenna? Or, what is the input impedance at the transmitter end of a transmission line when the antenna is connected to its other end? Why does my tuner seem to work better on some bands than others? What is the effect of high transmission line SWR? Should I be concerned about high SWRs? What can I do about them? It is the unusual operator who has not at one time or another asked one or more of these questions. Well, now you can easily answer these questions and many others! Using simple language the author of this book, a former electronic design engineer and amateur over more than 60 years, shows how to find the answers, quickly, easily and accurately. Those more technically inclined can work with the equations provided by the book; those who just want answers without all the math can use a personal computer and specially developed, easy-to-use programs from a CD and get accurate answers directly with the click of a button! But there is more: the book contains many solved examples and each solution is followed by a thorough discussion. Now you can get answers while you learn about transmission lines.

This book covers structural and foundation systems used in high-voltage transmission lines, conductors, insulators, hardware and component assembly. Furthermore, this text provides the essential fundamentals of transmission line design. It is a good blend of fundamental theory with practical design guidelines for overhead transmission lines, providing the basic groundwork for students as well as practicing power engineers, with material generally not found in one convenient book. Featuring design problems with solutions for students, the book is aimed at students, practicing engineers, researchers and academics. It contains beneficial information for those involved in the design and maintenance of transmission line structures and foundations. For those in academia, it will be an adequate text-book/design guide for graduate-level courses on the topic. Engineers and managers at utilities and electrical corporations will find the book to be a useful reference at work. This book presents the current state of electrical technology applied to the calculation and design of high voltage power lines, both aerial and underground, by means of an original approach based on the simple exposure of theoretical bases that allow the reader to apply them in the subsequent resolution of numerous real engineering examples. The examples in each chapter are developed in detail and have been selected in order to address the diversity of electrical and mechanical calculations required by the design of high voltage power lines. The book consists of chapters dedicated to the electrical design of lines, mechanical calculation of conductors, supports and foundations, design of grounding facilities and calculation of underground lines. There is no other book that gathers, in such a detailed way and with a focus eminently practical, all aspects related to the design of high voltage lines.
