electricpy.characterz(R, G, L, C, freq=60)[source]¶

Characteristic Impedance Calculator.

Function to evaluate the characteristic impedance of a system with specefied line parameters as defined. System uses the standard characteristic impedance equation (1).

(1)¶$$Z_c=\sqrt{\frac{R+j\omega L}{G+j\omega C}}$$

Parameters:¶

R : float¶

Resistance in ohms.

G : float¶

Conductance in mhos (siemens).

L : float¶

Inductance in Henries.

C : float¶

Capacitance in Farads.

freq : float, optional¶

System frequency in Hz, default=60

Returns:¶

Zc – Charcteristic Impedance of specified line.

Return type:¶

complex
