Brown, July 13, 1937. ⁇ Also, a plurality of turnstiles may-be arranged one above the other and energized by diierent signals.

  • curve a in Figure 2 is obtained.
  • This reflection lfactor is measured on the transmission line and is derived from the ratio between the maximum and minimum current appearing at different points along the transmission line. In short, this factor is the ratio of a current node to antinode as measured along the line. Reflection may be caused in several ways. First, the loading resistance may not correspond to the surge impedance of the line feeding it; second, the loading impedance may be correct but a reactive component may be present; third, both these causes may be combined. The quantity and kind of reliectionA present is determined from the position of maxima or minima of the standing wave component on the line. If it is desired to obtain an expression cf the reflection in percentage terms, taking a specific example where the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage is 1.1 to 1, the percentage reflection is obtained from the following expression:
  • % reflection l directly as the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage and not as percentages.
