{:.question}
Find the characteristic impedance and signal velocity for a transmission line consisting of two
parallel strips with a width $$w$$ and a separation $$h$$ (Figure 7.4). You can ignore fringing
fields by assuming that they are sections of conductors infinitely wide.

{:.question}
The most common coaxial cable, RG58/U, has a dielectric with a relative permittivity of 2.26, an
inner radius of 0.406 mm, and an outer radius of 1.48 mm.
### (a)
{:.question}
What is the characteristic impedance?
### (b)
{:.question}
What is the velocity?
### (c)
{:.question}
If a computer has a clock speed of 1 ns, how long can a length of RG58/U be and still deliver a
pulse within one clock cycle?
### (d)
{:.question}
It is often desirable to use thinner coaxial cable to minimize size or weight but still match the
impedance of RG58/U (to minimize reflections). If such a cable has an outer diameter of 30 mils (a
mil is a thousandth of an inch), what is the inner diameter?
### (e)
{:.question}
For RG58/U, at what frequency does the wavelength become comparable to
the diameter?
## (7.6)
{:.question}
CAT6 twisted pair cable used in ethernet networks has a propagation delay of 4.6 ns/m, and an
impedance of 100 ohms.
### (a)
{:.question}
What is the physical length of a minimum size 64 byte frame?
### (b)
{:.question}
Now consider what would happen if a “T” connector was used to connect one CAT6 cable to two other
ones. Estimate the reflection coefficient for a signal arriving at the T.
