Most analog folks are familiar with the use of a pulse generator and a scope to measure cable reflections and impedance. For those who are not, this lashup is called a reflectometer. Available as ...

Sure there are a few other parameters, such as velocity factor, precise delay time, and operating temperature range. In some cases, we might even have our cables fabricated by any one of the numerous ...

In the real world, vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements in the field often present obstacles to obtaining accurate readings. In this article, we examine the effect of a long coaxial cable ...

Klein Tools introduces the new TDR Cable Length Meter, a tester that provides accurate cable length measurements for a wide variety of cable types at an affordable price. TDR Cable Length Meter (Cat.

Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a very simple concept. A voltage pulse or step is applied to the end of a cable, and the reflections are measured and analyzed. As with most simple concepts, the ...
