Abstract :
A general transmission-line analogue of carrier waves in solids has been developed. Collision and thermal-diffusion effects have been taken into account. This general result will be reduced to the well known transmission-line equivalent for an electron beam in a vacuum if both the collision and thermal effects are neglected and reduced to that of the electroacoustic waves if the carriers in the solid are stationary.
