The results are shown in the figure below. Due to the very long length of the 50&Omega; T-Line XTL1, the source signal initially sees an impedance match at Node 2. The peak amplitude of v(2) is therefore
Run a Transient Test of your circuit with the start and stop times set to 0 and 5ns, respectively, and a Step Ceiling of 1ps. The following figure shows the results for the source, input and output voltages. Note that the source voltage does not jump between 0 and 5V instantaneously, but it has nonzero rise and fall times. The graph also shows the input binary bit sequence of the digital source on a separate digital axis because you just performed a mixed-mode simulation.
