Attenuation Formula (cont.) General formula: α = P l d ( z) P ( z ) f This is a perturbational formula for the conductor attenuation. The power flow and power dissipation are usually calculated assuming the fields are those of the mode with PEC conductors. z P f ( z) 6
Attenuation on Transmission Line The current of the TEM mode flows in the z direction. Attenuation due to Conductor Loss α = α c J sz z l d α = P P f C A C = C + C A B C B L z 7
Attenuation on Line (cont.) Power dissipation due to conductor loss: Power flowing on line: P f = Z I (Z is assumed to be approximately real.) S P = R J z l d s sz S = ( z) Rs J sz ( ) dl z = C z R J s C sz ( ) ds dl C A A I C= C A + C B C B B 8

Internal Inductance An extra inductance per unit length L is added to the TL model in order to account for the internal inductance of the conductors. This extra (internal) inductance consumes imaginary (reactive) power. The external inductance L accounts for magnetic energy only in the external region (between the conductors). This is what we get by assuming PEC conductors. L= L + L Internal inductance L z L z R z C z G z 8

Tesche Model This empirical model combines the low-frequency (DC) and the high-frequency (HF) skin-effect results together into one result by using an approximate circuit model to get R(ω) and L(ω).

Note: The method was applied in the above reference for a coaxial cable, but it should work for any type of transmission line. (Please see the Appendix for a discussion of the Tesche model.) 4
