Title :
Comparison of theoretical and measured values for attenuation of precision coaxial lines
Abstract :
Precision coaxial air-dielectric transmission lines (air lines) are used as primary impedance standards at RF. An important aspect in the characterisation of these lines is the determination of the inherent loss. Attenuation measurements made at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), UK are presented showing excellent agreement with values predicted by transmission line theory.
