Abstract

The classical transmission line theory is expanded to include convection current flow and electromagnetic radiation in unbalanced transmission lines. A theory for the generation of the nonlinear convection current in unbalanced transmission lines is developed. The convection current and the radiation parameters are included in the transmission line equations and a generalized transmission line theory is developed.
