摘要：
An assessment of time-domain reflectometry (TDR) for measuring the characteristic impedance Z(TL) of transmission lines is performed. The assessment includes the accuracy, of measuring Z(TL) as a function of TDR electrical impedance Z(O), the ability to measure impedance perturbations as a function Of Z(TL) and Z(O), and the ability to differentiate between transmission lines of similar Z(TL). The information presented herein will be especially useful for those using 50 Omega TDR systems to characterize transmission lines having characteristic impedances less than about 30 Omega.
