TLAYN_M2

- both conductors carry current

- one conductor carries the signal

- conductor is the return path

Balanced Transmission Lines is aka as

carry currents of equal magnitude w/ res to the electrical ground but travel in opposite directions

flow in the SAME direction

currents that flow in OPPOSITE directions in a balanced wire

most interference induced equally in both wires 

UNBALANCED TRANSMISSION LINES aka

ground wire may also be the reference for other signal carrying wires

• T

• F

one wire is at GROUND POTENTIAL whereas the other wire is at SIGNAL POTENTIAL

only one wire for each signal, and only one ground line
