Chapter 10: TRANSMISSION MEDIA
The chapter shifts attention from active electronic subsystems to the passive but decisive domain of transmission media. We examine guided media—twisted pair, coaxial cable, waveguide, and optical fiber—and analyze how electromagnetic energy propagates within them. Understanding the electrical and physical behavior of transmission lines and optical fibers is essential for predicting loss, bandwidth, impedance matching, and system stability.
