23Theory of Distributed-Parameter Circuits and Impedance
where
e
f
, e
b
are the voltage traveling waves
i
f
, i
b
are the current traveling waves
This is a basic equation to analyze traveling-wave phenomena, and the
traveling waves are determined by a boundary condition. More details are
given in Section 1.6.
1.3.3 Voltages and Currents on a Semi-Infinite Line
Here, we consider the semi-innite line shown in Figure 1.6. The AC constant
voltage source is connected to the sending end (x = 0), and the line extends
innitely to the right-hand side (x = +∞).
1.3.3.1 Solutions of Voltages and Currents
From the general solutions in Equations 1.47 and 1.51, the solutions of volt-
ages and currents on the semi-innite line in Figure 1.6 are obtained by
using the ...
