This paper discusses the skin effect on lossy transmission lines in the context of undergraduate electrical engineering courses. A new definition for propagation time derived from Parseval's theorem is proposed. In lossless transmission lines the proposed definition produces the conventional results and for lossy lines it matches quite exactly with the time simulation results, as shown by an illustrative example.
