Nonresistiveterminations

The situation bccomcs much morę complex but still tractable when we consider non resistivc terminations at the load cnd. As an example we will consider as shown in Figurę 2.14 a transmission linę terminated at the load cnd by a capacitancc C. The structurc is again excited from a voltagc sourcc Vsthrough a resistor Rsand a switch which is closed at timc t = 0.

At the sending end we have no reversc wave for 0 <t <2T. Then we use the preiously describcd cquivalcnt circuitto detcrminc the initial forward wavc. This wavc rcaches the load at t = T. However,

with a non-resistive termination we cannot, in the time domain, definc T v(L). Instead, we return to the basie equations at the load end, and write
