Noise accumulation in a transmission line with discrete inhomogeneities

Consideration of the process of noise accumulation in an ideal, noiseless, nondistorting transmission line with discrete inhomogeneities located at equal distances from each other. It is shown that, when the signal propagation time is much greater than the product of the inhomogeneity density times the inhomogeneity capacitance, noise from a source corresponding to an inner inhomogeneity, or located on it, accumulates most effectively. Noise from generators corresponding to edge inhomogeneities is accumulated more effectively on these same edge inhomogeneities and less effectively on the ones at the opposite end.
