Abstract
The properties of transient waves along electrical transmission lines are investigated. In particular, the excitation of the waves by impressed voltage and electric current sources is studied. Specific choices of this excitation are shown to lead to 'one-sided transmission' only. Furthermore, the reflection and transmission at a localized line fault/defect is studied. An illustrative time-domain reflectometry experiment is discussed.
