Default Re: Resistance Vs Impedance

one more....

The arithmetic mean between 30 ohms (best power handling) and 77 ohms (lowest loss) is 53.5; the geometric mean is 48 ohms. Thus the choice of 50 ohms is a compromise between power handling capability and signal loss per unit length, for air dielectric.
