  • Abstract
    This paper presents a study of the structural return loss (SRL) phenomenon pertaining to coaxial cables. Basic equations are developed, the effect of periodic changes in the physical structure of the cables is analyzed, measuring principles and techniques are discussed, and a method of fault location using the SRL test technique is given.
