A quarter-wave intermediate impedance line section can perfectly match
different resistances at its ends.

When a match exists at the end of a line, there is no discontinuity and
the line appears as if infinite. There is no reflection from an
impedance match.

It`s a multiplicity of waves which seem gratuitous.
