 Module 2.5: Rg=Z0/2, ZL=Z0


Given: A transmission line connected as shown.

 

   Q1.  What initial voltage is induced onto the sending end of the line after the switch is closed?
Vi +=
   Q2.  What steady-state voltage will the line hold after the switch has been closed for a long time?
V =

  The voltage at the  sending end  as a function of time.
  The voltage at the  midway point  down the line as a function of time.
  The voltage at the  load  as a function of time.
