Electrical termination

In electronics, electrical termination is the practice of ending a transmission line with a device that matches the characteristic impedance of the line. Signal reflections occur where there is an impedance mismatch. Termination prevents signals from reflecting off the end of the transmission line. Reflections at the ends of unterminated transmission…
