Development of a Coaxial Wire Transmission Line Trainer

The educational transmission line trainer described in this research serves as a valuable tool for teaching the fundamental principles of transmission lines. The trainer enables students to explore the behaviour of signals along transmission lines, understand impedance matching techniques and analyze signal reflections. Through practical experimentation, students can gain insights into the effects of line terminations, varying line lengths and different types of transmission lines. The design and implementation of an educational transmission line trainer aim to provide hands-on experience for students and trainees in the field of electrical engineering. Transmission lines play a critical role in the efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power from generating stations to load centres. Understanding the behaviour, characteristics and challenges associated with transmission lines is essential for engineering students, particularly in the areas of power systems, telecommunications and high-frequency electronics. The design, construction, evaluation and implementation of an educational transmission line trainer, a versatile tool for teaching electrical engineering students the fundamentals of transmission line theory. The trainer is designed to facilitate hands-on learning, allowing students to experiment with various transmission line configurations and observe the effects on signal transmission. The trainer’s modular design enables easy reconfiguration and expansion, making it an ideal resource for electrical engineering education.
