If a pure resistance of 50 ohms is placed at the end of a length of 50 ohm transmission line:
 

The characteristic impedance of a 20 ft piece of transmission
line is 52 ohms. If 10 ft were cut off, the impedance would be:

Any length of transmission line may be made to appear as an infinitely long line by:

Losses occuring on a transmission line between the transmitter and the antenna results in:


If the characteristic impedance of the feedline
does NOT match the antenna input impedance then:

Coaxial feedline contains:

A balanced transmission line:


A 75 ohm transmission line could be matched to a 300 ohm feedpoint of an antenna:

TV twinlead feedline may be used for a feedline
in an amateur station. The impedance of this line is approx.:

The result of the presence of standing waves on a transmission line is:
