Although a transmission line is only two parallel conductors, it has seemingly mysterious properties, like impedance and velocity factor, which can contribute the the line being either highly efficient, or extremely lossy. On top of that, much of the available information on the subject is just plain wrong. So what's really going on? Physicist, professor, and PhD, Greg Latta, AA8V explains these mysteries in one of the most intuitive presentations on transmission lines and standing wave ratio on the web.
