Zo =3D 1/(C*Vel)

where C is the capacitance of the line per unit distance and Vel is the vel=
ocity of the wave.

This second solution for Zo demonstrates the power storage capabilities of =
the transmission line over time.


What is old is new again.

Hasn't this "formula" been put in the ground once before? For one,
what is velocity but something that has to be computed first only to
find us refilling all the terms back into this shortcut? For two,
"power storage capabilities... over time?" Apparently the stake
missed the heart of this one.

= A0 =A 0 = A0 = A 0 Vs = A 0 =A 0 = A0 = A0 =A 0 = A0 = A 0
