Step Response of Lossless Nonuniform Transmission Lines with Power-Law Characteristic Impedance Function (Short Paper)

The step-response waveform of the Iossless nonuniform transmission line possessing a characteristic impedance function Z/sub c/(x)= Z/sub 0/(1 + eta x)/sup 2n/, n = 0,1,2,..., is deduced. The simple and closed-form solutions should be useful for pulse transient analysis involving nonuniform transmission lines.
