1. For a two-wire transmission line with 1.7794 mm diameter of each wire (copper) and 8.793 mm spacing between wire centers at 1 GHz frequency and with relative permittivity of the dielectric medium of 2.3

COMPUTE IN MATLAB

a. Compute the characteristic impedance, complex propagation constant, and attenuation and phase constants.

b. Plot the dependence of the real part of characteristic impedance on the spacing

between wire centers for D from 2 to 11 mm (adjust the axis on your plot to be from 1 to 11 mm).

c. Plot the dependence of the attenuation constant on the spacing between wire centers for D from 2 to 11 mm (adjust the axis the same way as above).

Copper conductors properties: magnetic permeability _c = 4*pi*10^-7 H/m, electrical conductivity s_c = 5.8*10^7 S/m.

Air line properties: electrical permittivity e = 8.854*10^-12 F/m, magnetic permeability = 4*pi*10^-7 H/m, electrical conductivity s = 0 S/m.
