The Upper Bound of the Speed of Propagation of Waves along a Transmission Line

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

According to theory, once certain conditions are fulfilled, current and voltage pulses propagate along ideal transmission lines with the speed of light. One can reach such a conclusion only when the conductors are assumed to be perfectly conducting, which ...
