Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is a technique used to evaluate the properties of electrical cables and transmission lines. It involves sending a short electrical pulse into the cable and measuring how long it takes for the pulse to reflect back. By analyzing the time it takes for these reflections to return, technicians can identify faults, measure distances, and assess the condition of the cable. TDR is commonly used in telecommunications, electrical engineering, and soil moisture assessment, providing valuable insights into the integrity and performance of various systems.
