5.9 REFLECTION AND REFRACTION COEFFICIENT (LINE TERMINATED THROUGH A
RESISTANCE)
Consider a lossless transmission line which has a surge impedance of Z
0
terminated through a resistance R as
shown in Fig. 5.6. When the wave travels along the line and absorbs any change (line end, change of series or
shunt impedance), then it is partly or totally reflected.

The expression for reflected current is:

where, v and i are the reflected voltage and current waves, respectively.
Let v and i be the transmitted voltage and current waves and v and i be the incident waves.
From Fig. 5.6,

From Eq. (5.27), the coefficient of transmitted or refraction current waves is
