I have a series of 5 transmission lines connected in series. I was wondering how best to analyse the circuit. I am not entirely sure how to calculate the reflection coefficient of the TL. Consider the following:
o-----o-----o-----o
\[Z1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Z1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Z2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\] | 50 Ohms
o-----o-----o-----o
If I start working from the load, is the reflection coefficient just:
\[\frac{Z_m - Z_{m-1}}{Z_m + Z_{m-1}}\]
where $Z_m$ is the characteristic impedance of the TL on the right and $Z_{m-1}$ is the characteristic impedance of the TL on the left, without considering multiple reflections for now.
Regards
