2.4 Finite Length transmission line

Reflected waves will also manifest if the terminating resistance is not precisely equal to the
characteristic impedance of the transmission line, not just if the line is left unconnected (open) or
shorted. In this case however, only part of the energy will be reflected. We look at this in more detail
in section 2.8.4 and 2.8.5 as well as section 3.3.
We may also simulate the time domain transients illustrated in this section by using
the transient simulation tools in Microwave Office as shown in video 2.1 and simulation
project TDR_video_2_1_and_3_4.emp.
