Can add loss (series and shunt resistors) but lets keep it simple
for now.
Add more sections and solution should converge

Freeze time
If we freeze time and look at the line, using the bounce diagram
we can figure out how many reflections have occurred
For instance, at time 2.5td = 2.5/v three waves have been
excited (v1+ ,v1 , v2+ ), but v2+ has only travelled a distance of /2
To the left of /2, the voltage is a summation of three
components: v = v1+ + v1 + v2+ = v1+ (1 + L + L s ).
To the right of /2, the voltage has only two components:
v = v1+ + v1 = v1+ (1 + L ).
A. M. Niknejad
p. 29/5
Freeze Space
We can also pick at arbitrary point on the line and plot the
evolution of voltage as a function of time
For instance, at the load, assuming RL > Z0 and RS > Z0 , so
that s,L > 0, the voltage at the load will will increase with each
new arrival of a reflection

PCB Interconnect
Suppose = 3cm, v = 3 108 m/s, so that
tp = /v = 1010 s = 100ps
On a time scale t < 100ps, the voltages on interconnect act like
transmission lines!
Fast digital circuits need to consider T-line effects
