Thus the equivalent ABCD parameters of the cascade are

If three networks or more are cascaded, the equivalent ABCD parameters can be
obtained most easily by matrix multiplications as was done above.
5.6 TRANSMISSION LINE MODELS
The line parameters discussed in the preceding sections were obtained
on a per-phase, per unit length basis. We are interested in the performance of
lines with arbitrary length, say l. To be exact, one must take an infinite number
of incremental lines, each with a differential length. Figure 5.24 shows the line
with details of one incremental portion (dx) at a distance (x) from the receiving
end.
The assumptions used in subsequent analyses are:
1. The line is operating under sinusoidal, balanced, steady-state
