Re: Back terminated cable?
As the member who asked the question featured in this thread, to me, it seems a good idea briefly to comment on the posts submitted, especially considering the number of those posts.
My original question - "What does the phrase 'back terminated', when applied to a transmission line - actually mean"?
That Q. has been answered. In essence, it refers to a termination at the source end of the transmission line, where that termination (usually) equals the Zo of that line.
David (Radio Wrangler) came up with an excellent alternative definition: source terminated, as opposed to load terminated. To me, that makes things perfectly clear.
There have been many other posts relating to Tx. lines generally. I have read them all and found them informative and useful. My thanks to all members who did so contribute.
