摘要
An experimental examination of a 10 Omega and a 2 Omega time-domain reflectometer (TDR) technique for measuring low-impedance transmission line characteristics is presented. TDR measurements using these systems are compared to those using a 50 Omega TDR system. The results show that the uncertainties in the characteristic impedance, Z(C), of a low-Z(C) transmission line are a significant fraction of Z(C) for 50 Omega TDR measurements, whereas the fractional uncertainties are much less when using a low-impedance TDR. The fractional Z(C) uncertainties for the 50 Omega TDR increase as Z(C) decreases. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
