Q1:

A line is excited by a 100 V dc source. If reflection coefficients at both ends are 1 each then

A there will be no oscillations on line

B there will be only 1 or 2 oscillations on line

C there will be a finite number of oscillations on line

D the oscillations will continue indefinitely

ANS:D - the oscillations will continue indefinitely

Because rv = 1 at each end, the line voltage will not reach a steady value and oscillations will continue indefinitely.
