Example Theory of Small Reflections

The document applies the theory of small reflections to determine the input reflection coefficient Γin for a transmission line structure with three sections of different lengths and reflection coefficients Γ0=0.1, Γ1=0.05, and ΓL=0.15. There are three propagation paths to consider. The input reflection coefficient Γin is calculated to be approximately 0.25 + j0.05 based on the contributions from each propagation path.

Note that the transmission line sections have different lengths!

Solution
Applying the theory of small reflections, the approximate signal flow
graph of the structure becomes:
