Coaxial Cable Field Theory

[Transmission Line Parameters of a Coaxial Cable]

Electric and magnetic fields:

: radii of inner and outer conductors

Power carried by the cable:

: peak incident voltage between inner and outer conductors

: peak incident total current on inner or outer conductor

: average incident power transmitted through the coaxial cable
