The Conduction of High-Frequency Oscillatory Energy

Starting from telegraph equations, the action of high-frequency electric lines is treated theoretically and experimentally. Their efficiency is calculated and the relation to the magnitude of the load resistance is determined. For measuring damping and surge impedance of these lines, methods are given that are applicable up to the highest frequencies. This has been confirmed by test. The phenomena that occur on lines whose feeding or loading shows dissymmetry with respect to ground, are analyzed and a method is given for removing dissymmetry systematically in practical installations.
