Definition of "Characteristic Impedance" |
[Zo] The ratio of voltage to current at any given point on a transmission line represented by a value of impedance. A measure of the electromagnetic coupling between the signal conductor and its return path. The impedance of a circuit that, when connected to the output terminals of a uniform transmission line of arbitrary length, causes the line to appear infinitely long. A uniform line terminated in its characteristic impedance will have no standing waves, no reflections from the end, and a constant ratio of voltage to current at a given frequency at every point on the line. / inherent property of a transmission line that defines the impedance that would be seen by a signal if the transmission line were infinitely long. If a signal source with a “source” or “reference” impedance equal to the characteristic impedance is connected to the line there will be zero reflections. |
