Hi SI folks,

If impedance of the transmission line is constant throughout the signal path, there should be no reflection. But how the series and parallel terminations making the impedance constant throughout the line? Whether it will reduce the reflections or absorb the reflections??

My Observations:
1. By using series termination, reflection will not be zeroed but, it arrests the reflection at source side. it won't allow the reflected signal from load end to propagate as re-reflection.
2. Parallel termination minimize the reflection by making the line's impedance(value equal to parallel termination resistor) constant throughout signal path.

Am i right??
