4.11 Transmission Lines
When designing circuits on chip, transmission line effects can often be ignored,
but at chip boundaries they are very important. Transmission lines have effects
that must be considered at these interfaces in order to match the input or
output of an RFIC. As already discussed, transmission lines have a characteristic
impedance, and when they are loaded with an impedance different from this
characteristic impedance, they cause the impedance looking into the transmission
