TRANSIENT PHENOMENA IN PNEUMATIC TRANSMISSION LINES: PART IV. A BASIC APPROACH TO TRANSIENT PHENOMENA IN BRANCHED TRANSMISSION LINES.

The transient phenomenon in branched transmission line systems are discussed to formulate the dynamics of the system, to classify the wave propagation mode, to establish the non-reflection matching technique and to analyze the mismatched branching systems. Both qualitative and quantitative considerations are made on the basis of the immittance function models of the branched transmission line systems. In this paper the branched transmission line system is formulated by using the incident waves into the branching point and the started waves from the branching point. The effect of the non-reflection matching are considered by using the signal flow diagram of the branching system.
