At the low operatingfrequencies, measurement and data collection can be accomplished using general-purpose labinstruments that are readily available in most basic laboratories. The prototype “lines” built bythe author and used in a transmission line course are described and the lab exercises andprocedures for determining the propagation properties such as standing wave pattern, phaseconstant, and wavelength are outlined. Typical experimental results are also provided.INTRODUCTIONThe experiments for the study of the basic characteristics of the propagation along transmissionlines are performed at frequencies above 1 Ghz.

The Internet hasenabled distance education to be both more efficient and effective 1-3. In engineering education,the adoption rate of effective online educational strategies has been lower than in otherdisciplines4. The importance of laboratory and hands-on experiments, as well as ABETaccreditation policies are likely to be part of the reason for this gap.

Often the next instrumentation course students take is a laboratory or design course that expects students to be familiar with commercial lab equipment usage, so a tutorial may be necessary to teach these skills. • Currently, course lab materials (beyond the Arduino kit) cost
