RF energy travels along transmission lines but what happens when it encounters a load or different type of line? The resulting reflections create standing waves of voltage and current, just as water waves do when they encounter an obstruction. The RF energy bouncing around in the line can create problems with digital signals and can result in extra losses.
This article takes a look at several techniques for dealing with the reflections and how the same techniques are used in circuit design. This is called impedance matching.
