Choosing potential, we may express the incident wave as \[\widetilde{V}^+(z) = V_0^+ e^{-j\beta z} \nonumber \] where \(V_0^+\) is determined by the source of the wave, and so is effectively a “given....Choosing potential, we may express the incident wave as \[\widetilde{V}^+(z) = V_0^+ e^{-j\beta z} \nonumber \] where \(V_0^+\) is determined by the source of the wave, and so is effectively a “given.” Any reflected wave must have the form \[\widetilde{V}^-(z) = V_0^- e^{+j\beta z} \nonumber \] Therefore, the problem is solved by determining the value of \(V_0^-\) given \(V_0^+\), \(Z_0\), and \(Z_L\).
