What is the Wave Equation?

The wave equation is a partial differential equation describing the nature of waves in time and space.

What does the term "coupled" wave equation mean?

When solving transmission line problems, it is often of interest to solve for the instantaneous voltage and current. In doing so using a lumped element (loss-less) model, it is found that the wave equations for both the voltage and current depend on each other and are thought of as "coupled."
