When r.f. signals are transferred directly from a cable or other output
terminal with an impedance Z1 to a signal input terminal or
cable with an impedance Z2, reflections ensue that cause standing
waves. Reflected signals then collide with incoming signals. The
consequent superimposition of the two signals causes the resulting
signal to be weak at certain points in the cable or network and
very strong at others.
