Transmission Sag for a relay
Simulate a relay live in your browser. This runs the real Transmission Sag solver — adjust the inputs, watch it respond instantly, and export the result. No install, no account.

Heat a material and it expands: ΔL = α·L·ΔT, where α is the coefficient of linear expansion. Area grows at twice that rate and volume at three times. It is why bridges have expansion joints, why rails buckle in heat, and why Invar — with almost zero expansion — is prized for precision instruments.

Presets
When a transmission line meets a load that does not match its impedance, part of the wave reflects. Incident and reflected waves combine into a standing-wave pattern measured by the VSWR. A perfect match (RL = Z₀, XL = 0) gives VSWR 1 and no reflection — the goal of every antenna and RF design.

About this simulation
The full Transmission Sag tool models a relay with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I simulate a relay?
- Open this page and use the live Transmission Sag tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.
- Can I use my own numbers?
- Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a relay from your own measurements.
