Abstract
A transmission line includes a high permeability conductor. The high permeability conductor increases the inductance-per-length of the transmission line to reduce the propagation velocity along the line. The high permeability conductor supplements a high dielectric constant insulator and high permeability core that increase the capacitance-per-length and inductance-per-length, respectively. In one embodiment, the transmission line is a microstrip line that is used in a matrix addressable display. In another embodiment, the transmission line is a coaxial line where the central conductor includes a center layer of nonmagnetic material and an outer layer of high permeability material. The high permeability conductor can be formed from a single layer of high permeability material or may be formed from a central layer of high conductivity material coated with an outer layer of a high permeability conductor.
