<math>V_{P1} = V_1(z=0) = -V_{P2} = -V_2(z=0) = V_o^+ e^{j\beta L} \left[ 1 + \Gamma_{L}^o e^{-2j\beta L} \right] </math>
 
The above results can clearly be observed on the voltage graphs of the previous part, which exhibit a standing wave pattern. Note that in this case, &Gamma;<sub>L</sub><sup>e</sup> = (50-70)/(50+70) = -0.167 and &Gamma;<sub>L</sub><sup>o</sup> = (50-30)/(50+30) = 0.25. As you already saw in Tutorial Lesson 1, the exponent &beta;L = 2&pi;L/&lambda;<sub>g</sub> = 2&pi;&radic;(&epsilon;<sub>eff</sub>)(f.L)/c determines the frequency variation of the voltage.
For Z-parameter calculations, we open-circuit Ports 2 and 4 (Z<sub>L</sub> = &infin;). In this case, &Gamma;<sub>L</sub><sup>e</sup> = &Gamma;<sub>L</sub><sup>o</sup> = 1, and the voltages at Ports 1 and 3 now reduce to:

where Z<sub>S</sub> = (Z<sub>0e</sub> + Z<sub>0o</sub>)/2 and Z<sub>D</sub> = (Z<sub>0e</sub> - Z<sub>0o</sub>)/2.

The equations derived earlier for the probe voltages (VP1 and VP2) exhibit a standing wave pattern, which can clearly be observed in your node voltage graphs for both cases of even and odd mode excitations.
