在通信工程和电子工程中，传输线是一种专用电缆或者其他结构，用于传输无线电频率的交变电流，也就是说，电流的频率高到一定程度时必须考虑它们波的性质。传输线一般用于连接发送器与接收器的天线，传输有线电视信号，中继电信交换中心之间的路由调用，计算机网络连接以及高速计算机数据总线。

本文仅讨论双导体传输线，包含平行线（梯线）、同轴电缆、带状线和微带线。一些来源认为波导管、介质波导甚至光纤也是传输线，但这些线需要用其他方法来分析，所以不在此进行讨论；可参见电磁波导。

In communications and electronic engineering, a transmission line is a specialized cable or other structure designed to carry alternating current of radio frequency, that is, currents with a frequency high enough that their wave nature must be taken into account. Transmission lines are used for purposes such as connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas, distributing cable television signals, trunklines routing calls between telephone switching centres, computer network connections and high speed computer data buses.
