What is an effect of characteristic impedance mismatch?
Any mismatch in the impedance of these three components in an RF system will cause a portion of the signal power traveling from source to load to be reflected back to the source.
What significance does impedance matching have in communication system?
Whether you are working with digital or analog signals, you’ll most likely need to match impedances between a source, transmission line, and load. The reason impedance matching is important in a transmission line is to ensure that a 5 V signal sent down the line is seen as a 5 V signal at the receiver.
What do you need to know about impedance matching?
The term “impedance matching” is rather straightforward. It’s simply defined as the process of making one impedance look like another. Frequently, it becomes necessary to match a load impedance to the source or internal impedance of a driving source. A wide variety of components and circuits can be used for impedance matching.
Who are the authors of impedance matching and tuning?

When to use complex conjugate matching in impedance matching?
If the source impedance, load impedance and transmission line characteristic impedance are purely resistive, then reflection-less matching is the same as maximum power transfer matching. Complex conjugate matching is used when maximum power transfer is required, namely where a superscript * indicates the complex conjugate.
What happens when impedances are not matched in a transmission line?
To achieve maximum power transfer over a transmission line, the line impedance must also match the source and load impedances (Fig. 6). If the impedances aren’t matched, maximum power will not be delivered. In addition, standing waves will develop along the line. This means the load doesn’t absorb all of the power sent down the line.
