Abstract :
Two methods of using time domain reflectometry for the characterization of a system of multiple parallel transmission lines are described. The two methods are the reflection method and the direct method. The selection of a method depends on the accuracy required and the property of the system of transmission lines to be measured: [Y0], [Z0], [C], or [L].
