Alan Wolke demonstrates transmission line terminations and reflections on an oscilloscope, including standing waves on an unterminated line; people credit it with making reflections understandable.
An animated explanation of signals travelling and reflecting on transmission lines, linked in questions on trace impedance, bus termination and voltage doubling at an open end.
Alan Wolke makes RF standing waves on transmission lines visible on the bench; recommended for building intuition about reflections, SWR and quarter-wave transformers.
Tektronix's explanation of transmission lines, recommended for building intuition about travelling voltage waves when a pulse is launched down a line.
