Solving for Attenuation Constant with Power Relations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the attenuation constant, alpha, using two different formulas related to transmission lines. The first formula expresses alpha in terms of resistance, conductance, and characteristic impedance, while the second set involves the characteristic impedance and gamma, the propagation constant. A participant seeks clarification on how to equate alpha from the first equation with the values derived from the second set. The conversation highlights confusion regarding the absence of alpha in the second equations, prompting a request for guidance on the relationship between these formulas. The goal is to demonstrate the equivalence of alpha across the different equations.

Hello.
In fields and waves and transmission lines
We have a attenuation constant formula with power relations:
1-

Alpha = 1/2R0(R+G|Z0|^2)

2-Also we can calculate attenuation constant from these :

Z0= radical[(R+jwL) / (G+jwc)]
gamma = radical[(R+jwL)(G+jwc)]

I want show alpha from 1 equation is equal alpha from 2 equations.
What should i do ? Please help me.

Where is your Alpha in the second set of equations? I only see Z0 and gamma.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
