Abstract

A time-domain transmission measurement technique for extracting the complex propagation constant of a cross-linked polyethylene cable is proposed. For this extraction, a pulse transmitted through the cable is measured in the time domain and analyzed in the frequency domain. The proposed technique does not use an open termination for reflection, and therefore increases the upper frequency of the bandwidth for extraction; by reducing the pulse width, it decreases the measurement error as compared with an existing time-domain reflectometry method.
