Recei vers are modelled as a high impedence Rl terminations .

Matching consists into

computing the value of Rm such that the trasmitter sees at the end of the trasmission line a
LOAD = Z0, deleting the reflections carried by the discontinuity at the node of the three
branches. Considering that every driver can be used as a receiver or trasmitter , the value of
Rm must be unique , guaranting the flexibility of the network. This procedure is called an
Interconnection Junction Point Matching.

Rm + (Rm+Z0)/2 = Z0 → 3Rm/2 = Z0/2 →Rm = ⅓Z0 = 16.67 Ω

In this way we have the same behaviour from all three sides, taking of course into account the
different delay of each trasmission line. Actually the response at the output is the result of
multiple reflection , with no discontinuity given by the central node. From simulation we can
see how the driver 1 and 3 are better than 2 for a trasmitter, this is due the physical delay of
the lines.
