At 43:23 the picture from the text is actually the combined signal amplitude or what we may see "rectified". "Voltage along the line disregarding polarity." (Absolute Value)
Great stuff, many thanks!! Any chance that you will explain how and why a dipole is a equivalent to a resistor as described in the video? There aren't that many out there that do this. It seems to have something to do with "flaring" the wires of the transmission line (i.e. opening them at an angle instead of running them parallel). Once this happens, a whole bunch of stuff seems to triggered, but because this also involves magnetic fields, I tend to get confused as to what happens exactly from an electrical standpoint, and more importantly why.
I would agree this is a much needed tutorial. I'd like to suggest there needs to be a follow on showing practical uses. Things like explaining Open or Shorted tuned stubbs. ThThat make use of a line's characteristics for filtering or matching.
It takes a master to clearly explain a complex subject in simple language. No advanced math or esoteric theories needed.Well done!
One of the most clear and concise explanations of the subject I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much.
Thanks for taking the time Dr. Latta. This YT was recommended via the W3GMS roundtable 2m net this evening.
This was excellent. Thank you for sharing !
Unbelievable! Just now I got what impedance means! Amazing explanation. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Very good explanation of transmission line and RF signal transmission. Thanks.

Thank you, Dr. Latta - this was quite helpful. -N2BKT

this is pure gold. thanks for sharing it.

Fantastic! Thank you for putting this together!
Sir AA8 you are very good you can teach me all the Amteur radio technic
