“…Analytically, however, for the conditions 0<<1, CZoco/2 = 1.05(ia)2Ert(l/h)210-20 (16) <<1, we note that the amplitude distortion of the periodic structure is a combination of that due to the 1.0 skin effect and one defined by cadB = 86.8(CZo)2f2/(s + b) (19) which follows directly from (11), if we know that the v70 6 < length unit in the repeated structure is (s+b). As forward propagation of a pulse train into the matrix is an operational demand, it is clear that 0/c> CZ0 For other conductor materials this response parameter is a desirable condition (see Section V-D).…”
