#37: Use a scope to measure the length and impedance of coax

w2aew

Why people recommend it

Shows how to measure a cable's characteristic impedance with an oscilloscope using time domain reflectometry, often cited when transmission line questions come up.

Watch for: Needs a scope and a fast-edge pulse source to follow along

In their words

Do some time domain reflectometry, a useful video to this process is probably one from w2aew.
