In calculating {math|β}, the wavelength is generally different inside the transmission line to what it would be in free-space and the velocity constant of the material the transmission line is made of needs to be taken into account when doing such a calculation. ===Special cases of lossless transmission lines=== ==Practical types== ===Coaxial cab...

line intended mainly for transfer of signals NOTE 1 - A transmission line is characterized by minimum low losses due to radiation. NOTE 2 - The term 'transmission line' and the word 'line' with a qualifier are frequently restricted to a line used for guiding electromagnetic waves in the TEM mode, commonly a two-wire or coaxial arrangement of conduc...
