The lattice diagram is a convenient visual tool for calculating the total voltage due to reflections
as described in the previous equations. Two vertical lines are drawn to represent points A and B
on the horizontal dimension, x. The vertical dimension represents time.
A waveform travels back and forth between points A and B of the transmission line in time, pro-
ducing the lattice diagram shown in Figure 10-11. The voltage at a given point is the sum of all
the individual reflected voltages up to that time. Notice that at each endpoint, two waves are con-
verging, the incident wave and the reflected wave. Therefore, the voltage at the end points A and
B at the time of the waveform reflection are calculated by summing both the incident and reflect-
ed waves up to and including the point in question.
