1. Two long transmission lines each having a surge impedances of 400 are interconnected by
the cable having surge impedance of 50. If a short pulse of magnitude 10kV travels along
the first line towards the junction. Determine from the first principles the magnitude of the
first and second pulse entering the second line.
Let the two lines OA and BC be joined by the cable AB. the surge impedance of OA and
BC are 400 , 50 and 400 respectively.
