D)standing wave

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standing waves are created as the result of the interaction of the incident wave and the reflected wave that interferes with each other constructively and destructively. This produces a pattern of nodes and antinodes along the transmission line. Standing waves occur when there is impedance mismatch between the transmission line and the load, which results in reflection of a portion of the incident wave back to the source. The standing wave ratio (SWR) can be used to diagnose the extent of impedance mismatch.
