Question

Propagation constant of a transmission line is

Options

• `(R + jwl)/(G + jwc)`

• `sqrt((R + jwl)(G + jwc))`

• `sqrt(1/(LC))`

• `sqrt((R - jwl)(G - jwc))`

Answer 1

`sqrt((R + jwl)(G + jwc))`

Explanation:

The propagation constant is a measure of the changes in amplitude and phase of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave as it travels through a medium. The propagation constant has no dimensions.
