Question
A lossless transmission line with characteristic impedance 50 Q is
connected to a second (infinitely long) transmission line with characteristic
impedance 10 Q. A source at the beginning of the first transmission line
emits a single Gaussian-shaped voltage pulse, with amplitude Vo, in the x-
direction towards the junction. Sketch 3 diagrams of voltage against x,
illustrating the shape of the voltage pulse in each of the following cases:
the incident voltage pulse, heading towards the junction;
the reflected voltage pulse, heading back towards the source; and
the transmitted voltage pulse, travelling down the second line.
Label your diagrams to correctly show the relative amplitudes of the pulses
