Must be Monday! If D=100 and d=10 (and Er=1) then Z= (120/sqrtEr) * ln(100/10) Z= 120*2.3= 276 ohms If D=50 and d=10 then Z = 120 * 1.6 = 193.1 ohms So Z goes down as spacing gets smaller (as expected). -Ray Rich Peyton wrote: >One of my notes states an equation for Parallel Wire Lines for transmission >lines > >Z= (120/sqrtEr)*ln((2D)/d)) > >Where D is spacing between wires >d is diameter > > >Am I missing something?
