They make an instrument called a Time Domain Reflectometer,
you hook it up to transmission lines and it sends out a pulse and times how long it takes to get back. The time it takes, reflected pulse polarity, and height says a lot about the line. Used for finding faults on telco/cable lines. Does the same thing with RF lines. Matched well, no pulse, but you can even see connectors on some of these TDR's Googleit, too "Cecil Moore" wrote in message ...

To see for yourself, feed a 75 ohm TV through 1000 ft. of 75 ohm coax. Then feed the same TV through 1000 ft. of 600 ohm ladder-line. How do you explain no ghosting in the first case and lots of ghosting in the second case? Seeing is believing. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
