We are specifically and deliberately going to do without the Smith chart today and look at some transmission line properties from a very basic perspective. Consider a transmission line, a coaxial ...

One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...

We left our story about the history of wire and cable (RW, Sept. 1) with Bell Labs testing thousands of cables of different impedances. They wanted to know, “Is there an ideal impedance for ...

As you probably know if you've been shopping for cables, coax for most video applications is "75 ohm" coax–but what the heck does that mean, anyway? This article is a short, non-technical explanation ...
