Homework Statement
A lossless transmission line has an inductance of 9.0 nH / m and a capacitance of 3.6 pF / m.
a) What is the line's characteristic impedance?
b) Calculate the phase constant of a frequency of 1 GHz.
Homework Equations
Equation of characteristic impedance of a transmission line:
Z0 = sqrt( R+j2piL / G+2jpiC )
Where R and G = 0, because lossless transmission line.
The Attempt at a Solution
For a I just used the equation above, but for task 2 I'm not sure what to do. I don't now how to get Sin/Cos to the equation so I can fint the phase constant. Do I need to do something to the equation above?
