The amount of reflection voltage can be easily calculated. Figure 10-10 shows a system exhibit-
ing reflections.
The magnitude of a reflection is usually represented in terms of a reflection coefficient. This is
illustrated in the following equations:
t = v
r
/v
i
= Reflected voltage/Incident voltage

Reflection voltage v
r
is given by v
i
, the voltage incident at the point of the reflection, and the re-
flection coefficient.
The model transmission line can now be completed. In Figure 10-10, the voltage seen at point A
is given by the following equation:
V

= V

This voltage V
A
enters the transmission line at “A” and appears at “B” delayed by t
pd
.
V
B
= V
A
(t – x/v) H(t – x/v)
where x = distance along the transmission line from point “A” and H(t) is the unit step function.
The waveform encounters the load Z
L
, and this may cause reflection. The reflected wave enters
the transmission line at “B” and appears at point “A” after time delay (t
pd
):

This phenomenon continues infinitely, but it is negligible after 3 or 4 reflections. Hence:

Each reflected waveform is treated as a separate source that is independent of the reflection co-
efficient at that point and the incident waveform. Thus the waveform from any point and on the
transmission line and at any given time is as follows:
V(x,t) = Z

Each reflection is added to the total voltage through the unit step function H(t). The above equa-
tion can be rewritten as follows:
