Abstract
Physical phenomena showing both particle and wave natures at the same time exhibit resonance. In addition, resonance is a physical phenomenon occurring in the steady state. Transient and steady-state responses can be discriminated when transmission lines are used. We demonstrate that (1) extended telegrapher's equations can be obtained using the Riccati differential equation, (2) lossless transmission lines called Pasteur, Tellegen, and bi-isotropic (BI) media can be characterized using the extended telegrapher's equations, and (3) the resonance conditions can be determined for each of these media.
