Hi ,
I'm studying transmission lines and how waves move through the device , so far I haven't delved into the maths behind it as I have been trying to get an overview of it.So far I have seen the effects when there is an open circuit , shorted and matched impedance loads.
The example I saw said that with a short circuit :
Reflection coefficient =-1
Phase 180 Degrees
It then says how the incident and reflected waves will interfere to create a standing wave. Is this correct? I thought that if the incident wave and reflected wave (which will be in anti-phase) combined it would be destructively giving no resultant wave?
Thanks
