Nov 28, 2014
  • Smith chart gridline labels did not display correctly with large fonts.

New in Transmission Line Details 2.0 (May 27, 2014)

  • Much more accurate mathematical model for transmission lines. The model includes the effects of DC resistance and internal inductance (due to magnetic fields within the conductors) as well as the usual skin effect resistance and external inductance (due to magnetic fields between the conductors) when doing the calculations.
  • Plot function added for true Zo magnitude and true velocity factor across frequency ranges.
  • Calculate and display distributed RLGC transmission line parameters.
  • Calculate and display one-way time delay.
  • Added several dozen more built-in line types. Updated specs for all line types to match current data from manufacturers' web sites as of late 2010.
  • Remove dependency on the FM20.DLL file. TLDetails is now just like any other stand-alone Visual Basic application.

  • Slight change to the way that the characteristic impedance Zo is calculated.
