Generalized Derivation of Fields, and Impedance Correction Factors of Lossy Transmission Lines Part II. Lossy Conductors Above Lossy Ground

A step by step solution of fields in the air and resistive soil for a single-conductor line is presented. Expression for the total line series impedance is derived. Fourier transform technique is applied to provide solution in a generalized integral form. Numerical method is suggested and a suitable computer programming is appended. The single-conductor line solution is extended to multiconductor system above earth with arbitrary dielectric constant and permeability. Various methods developed by other authors are reviewed.
