Abstract :
A static DC voltage can be treated as two traveling waves propagating in opposite directions of a lossless, nonuniform transmission line. The amplitudes of these two traveling waves are a function of the characteristic impedance of signal line. The concept of two traveling waves is applied to a time-domain-scattering-parameter analysis in a lossless, nonuniform transmission line terminated with nonlinear loads.<>
