Technology has developed in several ways to improve the way of life, one of them is by being able to transmit information from one point to another. This is no easy task as different problems may arise in transmitting information through a transmission line. One of the problems that may be encountered in transmission lines is the standing waves. Standing waves may damage transmission lines when very high maximum amplitudes pass through. Simulations in MATLAB can be performed by determining the behavior of the standing wave in a transmission line and observing what are the factors that may affect how it travels concerning distance. It can also be observed that when a certain variable is changed, there is a specific part of the output value or the waveform that will also change. Understanding these waveforms are important as transmission lines are a vital part of transporting information to distant places or around the country or internationally. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
