Hello all, I am simulating a driver with 50-ohm transmission line. Far end of the transmission line is terminated by 50-ohm resistor. In normal simulation there is no reflections are seen. When I add a capacitor at the far end, it shows a glitch at near end after 2*td. It seems that transmission line is considering capacitor as short for signal transition. But I think this is not the real effect of capacitor on the transmission line. If load capacitor at far end is Cl, it will change the caracteristic impedance of the transmission line and it will become Zo=sqrt(l/(c+Cl/L)). Where L is the length of the transmission line and l and c are the per unit parameters. Does my conclusion is correct? Please shed some light on it.
