Flat transmission line capacitance formula?
Original poster: Bert Pool <bert.tx-at-prodigy-dot-net>
I have formulae for isolated spheres, toroids, flat plate capacitors, etc.,
but do not have a formula for calculating the capacitance of a single, long
flat plate transmission line. I use a long strip of aluminum flashing for
the transmission line from the driver to the extra coil on my
magnifier. Tesla provides us a formula for a cylindrical transmission
line, but nowhere do I find a formula for a flat plate line. Does anyone
out there have such a formula? I will be conducting some measurements on a
real-world line to determine the measured capacitance, but it sure would be
a help if I had a starting formula from which to work!
Thanks,
