Investigation of TWP with Losses
Problem Definition
Aim of this application note is to show how dielectric losses influence on simulation results and comparison with measurements.
TWP having lossy dielectric covering and cable length about 4.325 m is investigated. The insulation of the cable with following parameters is considered: tanґ=0.04 and µr=3.8.
