Question B-006-001-009

If the impedance terminating a transmission line differs significantly from the characteristic impedance of the line, what will be observed at the input of the line?

Correct Answer

Some value of impedance influenced by line length

Explanation

A mismatch causes reflections. The reflected wave combines with the forward wave, creating standing waves and transforming the impedance seen at the input, depending on the line length.
