Abstract
The traditional stimulus signal used in a time-domain reflectometer (TDR) is a voltage step. We propose an alternative technique, whereby an impulse generator is employed in place of the step generator in a TDR. The advantage conferred by “impulse TDR” is that more energy is available at higher frequencies than with conventional step TDR, and so a higher bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is achieved. The theoretical result is compared with measurement.
