Frequency-Domain Analysis of Two-Conductor Lines
In this chapter we examine the frequency response of a two-conductor transmission line to a single-frequency sinusoidal source: 
. The time-domain line voltages and currents, 
and 
, at each point along the line, z (generally of interest only at the line terminals), are to be determined and are similarly single-frequency sinusoids at the same frequency as the source and have a magnitude and a phase angle that are functions of their position along the line, z.
To simplify the solutions for the line voltage and current, we examine the steady-state phasor response of the line, as illustrated in Fig. 3.1. We replace the time-domain source with the complex, phasor source (denoted with a caret) as

Similarly, the line voltages and currents are replaced with their phasor forms:
