one upside to having accidentally gotten super nerdsniped yesterday is that I made a bunch of realisations about transmission line behaviours in the lumped element model that I hadn't considered before.
@natevw I'm in the process of writing up my long thread about transmission lines as a blog post, so hopefully by tomorrow that can serve as a starting point for a proper deep dive :)
one example: the purely capacitive model can't possibly explain propagation velocity, because it can only ever produce a simple impedance divider network, which can moderate rise time but can never lead to an actual delay in the initial rise like you see with the "proper" RLCG model.
