Time Domain Reflectometry ECE 345 Senior Design Lab
Time Domain Reflectometry • Applications • Theory • Equipment Setup • Data Analysis • Limitations
Applications • Transmission Line Length • Fault Analysis • Wave Speed • Physical Properties
Transmission Line Length • Good for when you need to know the length of inaccessible lines
Fault Analysis • Good for deciding where to look for problems
Wave Speed • Good for determining performance of lines connecting computers and communication equipment
Physical Properties • Relative Permittivity of Dielectric (r): r = (3x10^8/wave speed)^(1/2) • Line Capacitance (C): C = r^(1/2)/(Zo x 3x10^8) • Line Inductance (L): L = [(wave speed^2) x C]^-1
Theory • V+ = Vo(Zo/(Rg + Zo)) • V- = (V+)(Rload - Zo)/(Rload + Zo) • = (V+)/(V-) = (Rload - Zo)/(Rload + Zo) • = -1 for Rload = 0 • = 1 for Rload = • = 0 for Rload = Zo
Theory • Bounce Diagram
Limitations • Oscilloscope Bandwidth • Oscilloscope Sampling Rate • Data Interpretation • Availability of Literature(cable data) • Price
