FAQ

What is the Characteristic Impedance?
Characteristic Impedance represents the ratio of the voltage and current amplitudes of a wave propagating along the line and is typically denoted by the symbol Z<sub>o</sub> . Characteristic Impedance is usually measured using the Ohm for Electric Resistance. Note that the value of Characteristic Impedance is always positive.
Can the Characteristic Impedance be negative?
No, the Characteristic Impedance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Characteristic Impedance?
Characteristic Impedance is usually measured using the Ohm[Ω] for Electric Resistance. Megohm[Ω], Microhm[Ω], Volt per Ampere[Ω] are the few other units in which Characteristic Impedance can be measured.
