Physicists have now seen waves “bounce” off a sudden change in time itself—a twist that flips their direction and shifts ...

A time domain reflectometer (TDR) measures reflections along a cable. It is similar in principle to radar. To measure those reflections, the TDR transmits an incident signal into the cable and watches ...

In this look at transmission line theory, we will assume an RG-58 type of coaxial cable which has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. Where we let C stand for the capacitance per unit length, 30 pF ...

“Time-domain reflectometry” sure sounds like something that needs racks of expensive equipment to accomplish. In reality, TDR is just measuring the time between injecting a pulse into a cable and ...
