Key point about transmission line operation Voltage and current on a transmission line is a function of both time and position

+z The major deviation from circuit theory with transmission line, distributed networks is this positional dependence of voltage and current! Must think in terms of position and time to understand transmission line behavior This positional dependence is added when the assumption of the size of the circuit being small compared to the signaling wavelength

bump or a mountain depends on the ratio of its size (tline) to the size of the vehicle (signal wavelength)
Similarly, whether
or not a line is to be considered as a transmission line depends on the ratio of length of the line (delay) to the wavelength of the applied frequency or the rise/fall edge of the signal
