Features:

* To study standing waves and observe maxima

and minima of a transmission line on a CRO.

* Uses actual coaxial lines rather than simulated

ones.

* Appreciate significance of impedance matching.

* Measures VSWR, reflection coefficient,

characteristic impedance, velocity of propagation,

dielectric constant and signal attenuation.

* Study Time Domain Reflectometry.

* S t u d y l o c a t i o n a n d n a t u r e o f

discontinuities, open/short, mismatched

terminations, etc.

* Offers a complete view of the transmission line

in analog and digital domains, which is essential

for complete understanding of transmission line

behavior.
