Transmission Line Theory

Transmission Line Theory explains how electrical signals travel through cables or wires. It considers how signals are affected by the properties of the cable, such as resistance, inductance, capacitance, and capacitance, which influence the signal’s strength, timing, and shape. When a signal moves along a transmission line, reflections and distortions can occur if the line's ends aren't properly matched. Understanding this theory helps in designing cables and systems that efficiently transmit power and data with minimal loss or signal degradation, ensuring reliable communication and electrical performance over long distances.
