Question
Can someone please help me with the following:A given cable has characteristic impedance Z0 = 100 Ohms. At a given position on the line, the voltage amplitude is 1 V.
-Draw a sketch (a snapshot at a fixed time) of the forward-traveling voltage and current waves on the line, showing their amplitudes and phases.
-Draw a sketch of the backward-traveling voltage and current waves on the line, showing their amplitudes and phases.
-If you wanted to measure V0+ for a given line, what exactly would you measure and where would you do it?
-Does V0+ depend on the load impedance that’s attached to the line? Explain why or why not.
-To measure V0+, would you need to turn on the voltage generator? Why or why not?
