Characteristic admittance is the mathematical inverse of the characteristic impedance. The general expression for the characteristic admittance of a transmission line is:
where
- is the resistance per unit length,
- is the inductance per unit length,
- is the conductance of the dielectric per unit length,
- is the capacitance per unit length,
- is the imaginary unit, and
- is the angular frequency.
The current and voltage phasors on the line are related by the characteristic admittance as:
where the superscripts and represent forward- and backward-traveling waves, respectively.
