The study of the scattering data for a star-shape network of LC-transmission lines is transformed into the scattering analysis of a Schrodinger operator on the same graph. The boundary conditions coming from the Kirchhoff rules ensure the existence of a unique self-adjoint extension of the mentioned Schrodinger operator. While the graph consists of a number of infinite branches and a number finite ones, all joining at a central node, we provide a construction of the scattering solutions. Under non-degenerate circumstances (different wave travelling times for finite branches), we show that the study of the reflection coefficient in the high-frequency regime must provide us with the number of the infinite branches as well as the the wave travelling times for finite ones.
