Application: Distortionless parallel plate line. A parallel plate line is made as shown in Figure 14.37. Material properties and dimensions are given in the figure. The design caI1s for a distortionless transmission line operating at 1000 MHz.
(a) Calculate the required distance d between the two conductors to produce a distortionless line at the given frequency.
(b) What are. the characteristic impedance and attenuation constant of the line?
(c) If a reduction of at most 75 dB in amplitude is allowed before an amplifier is required, calculate the distance between each two amplifiers on the line.
