Measurement of Characteristic Impedance and Attenuation of Twisted Pair Transmission Lines

Abstract

This work was done in an effort to develop a method for accurately determining the characteristics impedance and attenuation of flexible twisted type transmission lines having other than air dielectric, at high frequencies. As flexible transmission lines are being used in the higher frequency bands, and thus may be of value in the Naval Service, it is important that the electrical values of these lines be known before being employed as part of any communication installation. In consideration of the impedance characteristics and the high attenuation of these type lines, it is recommended that wherever possible transmission lines of air dielectric be employed at the higher frequencies.
