Q1:

A generator is feeding power to a transmission line of characteristic impedance Z0. The line is terminated in impedance ZL. Standing waves will be set up if

A ZL = Z0

B ZL < Z0

C ZL > Z0

D both (b) and (c)

ANS:D - both (b) and (c)

Both the case, i.e., ZL > Z0 and ZL < Z0 give rise to standing waves.
