Apparatus for monitoring a signal at an intermediate point on a series impedance source terminated unidirectional transmission line employs a voltage probe, a current probe, and a summing element. The apparatus provides a useful output signal despite the fact that signals at an intermediate point on the transmission line comprise the sum of incident and reflected waveforms. The voltage probe derives a signal from the transmission line that is representative of the sum of the incident and reflected waveforms. The current probe produces a voltage signal representative of the difference between the incident and reflected waveform currents. The summing circuit algebraically adds the output signals of the voltage and current probes, and produces an output signal representative of only one of the transmitted waveform or the reflected waveform.
