4. The voltage of an electromagnetic wave traveling on a transmission line is given

by:

characteristic impedance Z0 at 1 GHz.

6. A transmission line has the following per unit length parameters: R’ = 5 (Ω /m),
L’ = 0.2 (µH/m), G’ = 0.01 (S/m), C’ = 300 (pF/m). Calculate the propagation
constant and characteristic impedance at 500 MHz. Recalculate these quantities
in the absence of loss (R’=G’=0).
