Default length of transmission line

The length of transmission line is depend on the wavelength of signal being transmitted why?




and why and how coaxial canle take Max transmission channel as compare to UTP and stp?

Well I guess the simple explanation for the first questions is this: If the antenna is too short, it won't receive the entire wavelength. If it's too long, the radio waves that it receives will cancel eachother out.

The length of a transmission line is the length of cable needed to go from the source to the load.

This question does not make sense in English.
Can you try to re-phrase it?

The length of a transmission line does not depend on the wavelength if it is properly terminated in the characteristic impedance.

The problem with unshielded twisted pair (and shielded also) is that the characteristic impedance is not uniform, so you can't get a proper termination. At low frequency it works OK but for high frequency, use coaxial cable.

Oops, should've read more carefully. I thought he was talking about an antenna
