Talk:Signal reflection

end of cable reflections
this has no information about terminators (ie, BNC coax networks), end of cable reflections (ie, DSL lines and phone lines into the house, a simple filter may be enough to fix) and there is no (apparent) information on reflections on the dsl page (under "see also"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.185.5.82 (talk) 08:56, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Reflection (Physics)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(physics)

The reflection occurs at an interface between different media, as on a water surface. So it also occurs in conducting paths at every solder point and termination, and within conductors at any impurity within the material.

On merging
As I've requested at Talk:Reflections of signals on conducting lines, would it be possible for some of that material to be included into this article? — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 12:51, 14 December 2015 (UTC) I agree. Someone removed the merge tag in 2017 with no explanation, so I have restored it. As a student learning this, I can't see the value of this article over the other one. An expert should just merge the one paragraph here with the detailed article on the same topic. This page is very specific to conductive wire. If it talked about other kinds of signal reflections, like optical, then I could see the maybe purpose of the article, but even that is covered elsewhere. 63.106.106.2 (talk) 09:16, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * They removed template, no doubt, because of the two March 2016 uncontested objections at Talk:Reflections of signals on conducting lines. You therefore seem to opening a new proposal; I'll change the date on your template, switch the discussion link to this section (it currently points to the other one) and add a template to the target too.

Oppose. Everything I said in 2015 at that other discussion still applies. We certainly should not be merging a GA quality article with a page completely lacking in sources. That would be WP:TOOSOON at least, but more than that, these are not the same topic. Reflections of signals on conducting lines is a sub-topic of signal reflection and can be completely focused on that sub-topic. The latter page can cover that as well, but it should be in summary form linked to a main article. Signal reflection needs improving, but a merge is not the way to achieve that.
