The solutions to the long line transmission equations include incident and reflected portions of the voltage and current: V = V r + I r Z c 2 e γ γ x + V r − − I r Z c 2 e − − γ γ x I = V r / Z c + I r 2 e γ γ x − − V r / Z c − − I r 2 e − − γ γ x When the line is terminated with its characteristic impedance, the reflected portions of these equations are reduced to 0 and the solutions to the voltage and current along the transmission line are wholly incident. Without a reflection of the wave, the load that is being supplied by the line effectively blends into the line making it appear to be an infinite line. In a lossless line this implies that the voltage and current remain the same everywhere along the transmission line. Their magnitudes remain constant along the length of the line and are only rotated by a phase angle.
