Hi, Leonard
  First you have to believe in that voltage on a transmission line is
 U(z) = U+(z) + U-(z), where U+(z) means input, U-(z) means
 reflect.
 given U+(z), with different loads, U-(z) is different,
 in open load, U-(l)=U+(l), means all input is reflected back.
 so at the load, U(l)=2U+
 when load is shorted, U-(l)= - U+(l), all input is also reflected
 back, but phase difference is 180 degree. This is to meet the
 requiment that U(l)=0.
 when load is matched, U-(l)=0, so U(l)=U+.
 Hope this can help you.
