Oh, I'm so sorry Cecil, I should have written "However I can not
visualize a simple PHYSICAL mechanism/example to generate
such system in a TL". Anyway, your additional info it is very useful to
me. Thanks.


The physical mechanism is the Z01==Z02 impedance discontinuity with
its associated reflection coefficient, rho. We can see that reflection
on a TDR so it is indeed a PHYSICAL mechanism.

don't forget the OTHER physical mechanism that is necessary,
superposition... the ability to add voltages, currents, and fields in
linear circuits and media.
