The amplitude of the incident wave is given by a voltage divider as

\ v^{+} =12\frac{100}{50+100} =8.0V

The incident ray can be plotted as a line from the origin to the point z =l  and \ t=l/v_{p} . The reflection coefficients at the generator and load are

\ \Gamma _{g}=\frac{50-100}{50+100}=-1/3  and  \Gamma _{L}=\frac{200-100}{200+100} =1/3.

so the amplitude of the wave reflected from the load is 8/3 V. When this wave reaches the source, it will be reflected to form a wave of amplitude –8/9 V. The next reflection from the load will have an amplitude of –8/27 V. These four waves are shown in the bounce diagram of Figure 2.26.
