What is the principle behind standing waves?
What is the principle behind standing waves?
(OP)
Hi There,
Does anybody know where we get to have standing waves whenever the terminator of our transmission line is not equal to the characteristic impedance?
Are there any theory behind this?
Thanks!

RE: What is the principle behind standing waves?
http://www.anixter.com/techlib/d0500p01.htm has some technical tests which examine the action of standing waves as a result of impedance mismatch. You might want to look at Levels Lab Reports and particularly Reports 2 (Increased performance of Matched Systems) and 4 (Return Loss and its Effect on Network Performance).
