Example Problem
Find the terminal or output voltage magnitude of the lossless transmission line whose source voltage V_src = 10 kilo volts, source resistance R_src = 2 kilo Ω & characteristic impedance Z₀ = 7 kilo ohms.
Solution
The given data
voltage V_src = 10 kilo volts
source resistance R_src = 2 kilo Ω
characteristic impedance Z₀ = 7 kilo Ω

Step by step calculation
Formula to find V_term = V_src x (Z₀)/(R_src + Z₀)
substitute the values in the above formula
= 10000 x (7000/(2000 + 7000))
V_term = 7.7 kilo volts
