1. ## 1. Give a detailed derivation telegraph equation. 2. derive expressions

Please give me a helping hand on these two. thanks.
************************************************** ************************************************** **
1. Give a detailed derivation telegraph equation (first principle). Say that the telegraph equation are a second order differential equation.

You will show that the equation(s) to the telegraph equation will give you

I_x= Ae^(-γ x) +Be^(γ x)
V_x= (Ae^(-γx) +Be^γx)/Z_o
Recall γ = a+ j b

2. Derive expressions for; Z_o =f (primary constant)
a =f (primary constant)
b =f (primary constant)
In terms of primary constants.

Note that I is for current, V is for voltage and Z is for impedance.

Recall γ =  + j 

Derive expressions for; Z_o =f (primary constant)
 =f (primary constant)
 =f (primary constant)
In terms of primary constants.

The only thing I know is that $\gamma^2 = (R+j\omega L)(G+j \omega C)$
And also that $Z_0 = \sqrt{\frac{R+j \omega L}{G+j \omega C}}$

If R,L,C,G are your primary constants, then that is your formula
>BUT<what is the following doing then?
I_x= Ae^(-γ x) +Be^(γ x)
V_x= (Ae^(-γx) +Be^γx)/Z_o

Derive expressions for; Z_o =f (primary constant)
 =f (primary constant)
 =f (primary constant)
In terms of primary constants.
What is the function doing twice? I am lost about your interpretation!

Explain what you want clearly!!

If you type: "derivation telegraph equation" into Google what do you think
you get?

First hit is either this thread or your other one, and the second is this.

Explain what you want clearly!![/QUOTE]

The assignment was written exactly the same way I presented it. I corrected what you saw in another posting.

5. ## Isomorp my answer... or kindly explain what you do not understand

Isomorph, you asked>>>>>what is the following doing then?

The lecturer wants us to derive the telegraph equation to get expressions for I_x (current) and V_x (voltage) in a transmission line.

in this same thread you will find a correction to my first quote...

or kindly explain what you do not understand

Now it is a more clear, but not complete!
What are primary constants? A and B ??
Do you know the equations in terms of G,L,R,C? If you do, then you can compare terms and complete it.
If you don't you have to read it up.
Are you talking about these?:
$Z_0 = \sqrt{\frac{R+j \omega L}{G+j \omega C}}$
$\gamma^2 = (R+j\omega L)(G+j \omega C)$
For me, G,L,R,C are primary constants
Please describe the problem completely, I do not understand what $Z_0, a, b$ in terms of primary constants mean

7. ## re:Now it is a more clear, but not complete!

Iso, your question>>>>>Now it is a more clear, but not complete!
What are primary constants? A and B ??

You know that a+jb is in complex number form right?
so, on the day of the lecture, I was the only one that asked the lecturer what he means by γ (since he mentioned that it can either be positive or negative) and he said that it is either amplification or attenuation.

Do you know the equations in terms of G,L,R,C?
>>>> Nope
If you do, then you can compare terms and complete it.
If you don't you have to read it up.
Are you talking about these?:
$Z_0 = \sqrt{\frac{R+j \omega L}{G+j \omega C}}$
>>> YES! For Zo, you've got the answer.

$\gamma^2 = (R+j\omega L)(G+j \omega C)$
>>>>I need to know what γ is in terms of a+jb (complex numbers), not what γ^2 means.
For me, G,L,R,C are primary constants
the primary constants are R,C,L and Z.

Please describe the problem completely, I do not understand what Z_0, a, b in terms of primary constants mean
