There seems to be a popular superstition among engineers that the voltage and current relations at different points in a transmission line are peculiar and are not governed by Ohms law. This idea is not true. A transm...

Review of the Subject—Several independent studies have been made recently to determine the economies of a large, uniform power system. The two studies of more general interest were those conducted by the Department of the Interior, under the direction of W. S. Murray, for the Superpower Zone, and by F. G. Baum for the United States. Both of these investigations are available in published form. During the progress of the Superpower Survey, one of the longest transmission lines proposed was that extending 350 miles from the Niagara Falls Development to New York City. Under emergency conditions on this line, the power limit for the maximum amount of power was approached by two twin-circuit tower lines with three circuits carrying the emergency load. The maximum power limit would have been exceeded if two single-circuit tower lines had been employed, even though the transmission voltages and the total copper cross-section were the same as with the two twin-circuit tower lines. Similarly, several long, high-voltage lines will be required in a nation-wide system, especially through the middle western region as shown by Mr. Baum's report. The tendency to extensive transmission systems has emphasized the necessity of considering the factors which will limit the amount of power that can be transmitted any distance with the highest practical transmission voltage. On account of the transmission line characteristics, the power limits will be greater when the system is regulated by synchronous apparatus than when no such apparatus is used so that two power limits will be considered in this paper;first, for an unregulated system;and second, for a regulated system. However, while we are primarily interested in high-voltage systems in this paper, it should be kept in mind that these same methods of calculation may be applied to lower voltages in determining the power limitations of station tie lines. It is commonly accepted that different types of networks have certain power limita

Five different types of transmission line systems are analyzed and are shown to possess directional properties at the lower radio frequencies. The conditions of mismatch on either transmission line or on both transmission lines have been taken into account, as well as lengths of coupling greater than a fractional wavelength. A new and more general scatter matrix for directional couplers which includes the condition of mismatch is developed. In addition, lumped circuit directional couplers have been developed as a consequence of the general transmission line theory.

An iterative circuit, diode, transmission phase shifter is discussed, having a canonic form that consists, of a length of transmission line symmetrically loaded at its ends by small susceptances whose values are diode controllable. The spacing of the susceptances is chosen so that their reflections are nearly mutually canceling, (about a quarter wavelength if equal magnitude, opposite sign susceptances are used). A change of electrical length of the section of 23/spl deg/, in principle, is obtainable with a maximum input VSWR of 1.04. Eight section, experimental circuits yielded 180/spl deg/ total phase shift with less than one decibel of loss in the L and S bands and peak RF power capability to 15 kilowatts. Operation to 140 kilowatts peak power was achieved with reduced phase shift per section. The transmission phase shifter is believed to be well suited as a phase control element for beam steering of array antennas.

Coaxial transmission line filters in which the shunt reactive elements are conducting rods inserted between the inner and outer conductors of the series coaxial transmission line may be analyzed by the use of well-known transmission line equations if only the TEM mode propagates. When other "spurious" modes are important, the problem is not so simple. Some equations are presented for the cutoff frequencies of such spurious modes, and supporting experimental data is included.

The paper treats of the true wave phenomena which take place on a transmission line when switches are opened and closed or when a circuit breaker operates. These phenomena are practically the same in alternating- and direct-current systems for transmission lines up to say 150 or 200 mi. (240 or 320 km.) in length, and therefore the surges which are described in the paper are the surges which take place when a steady voltage is connected to the line or when the line is disconnected with a steady current flowing in it. The details of line surging which takes place under such conditions are most easily described in terms of what may be called the “ribbon wave„, and the first part of the paper is devoted to a discussion of the ribbon wave. Then a number of practical examples are described in detail. Copyright, 1914 by the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
