Cable Basics; Transmission, Reflection, Impedance Matching, TDR
Instruments such as the Analog Arts ST985 (www.analogarts.com), based on the TDR and wave transmission concept, characterize the length, impedance, and other characteristics of a cable.
When a signal travels through a cable, it is undisturbed until it encounters an impedance change, and if it encounters an open circuit, all of the wave reflects back to the source.
The characteristic impedance of the cable and the load impedance, determine what happens to the signal at the load. A higher load impedance reflects a part of the signal back to the source. There is no reflection when the load impedance is smaller than the impedance of the cable. However, smaller loads cause signal loss. An equal...

    This is very good as an instructive video, but I think there are two errors that you make and need to correct. First is the comment that 50 ohm cable is for low loss applications. That is not true. Most 50 ohm coax such as RG8 or RG213 is rather high loss cable compared to 75 ohm coax, such as RG6, and particularly compared to higher impedance non-coax cable such as 450 ohm window line. This is because the for a given power level, the current levels will be higher in 50 ohm coax vs. higher impedance transmission line, and thus I^2R losses are usually higher, especially if there are standing waves present due to load impedance mismatch. The loss data of coaxial cables and parallel conductor cables are well documented, and are readily found online from coax manufacturers or in texts such as the ARRL Antenna Book or ARRL Handbook. Second, you say that there is no reflection if the load impedance is less than the cable impedance. That is not true either. Any impedance mismatch causes reflected power in the form of reflected voltage or current waves. For smaller load impedance, part of the voltage wave is reflected out of phase relative to the incident wave to partially or fully cancel the voltage wave in order to adjust the voltage/current ratio in the lower impedance load to a smaller value (thus smaller impedance). The ultimate being a short circuit termination, where 100% of the voltage wave is reflected 180 degrees out of phase in order to cancel the voltage to zero at the termination. The reverse is true for an open circuit termination. Mismatch of any kind causes signal loss due to reflected power being consumed by lossy cables. These points can be confirmed by looking up any text on the subject. Also, just a suggestion: it is always more pleasant to hear a real human voice and not an AI created robot voice in these videos.

    This video is significantly just "technical bologna". There is no better or nicer way to describe the technical contents of this video. This video represents everything that is wrong with Internet and RUclips as a learning resource. 1.) The claim half the power reaches the load is completely false. 100% of generator power can reach the load, less cable losses. It can be a very large percentage reaching the load even with a mismatch. 2.) If the generator is conjugately matched to the cable input impedance, even if the cable is mismatched to the load, almost 100% of source power can reach the load. An example would be open wire fed doublet antennas, where the feedline operates with 10:1 or higher mismatches yet nearly 100% of transmitter output power excites the antenna. I often run antennas with 2:1 and higher mismatches and yet the transmission line is highly efficient and the transmitter is perfectly fine. As a matter of fact reflected power does not make it back into normal PA stages. This is easily proven. 3.) Any mismatch causes STANDING waves. Standing waves stand. Standing waves do not bounce around, if they did we would call them "bouncing waves" and not call them STANDING waves. 4.) Standing waves cause an operating impedance variation along the transmission line. That operating impedance, the ratio of across to through vectors, varies with distance along the line. This is how Q-sections and stubs work. Look up Q-sections. They can operate with nearly infinite standing wave ratio yet have high efficiency. We are heading for problems when RUclips becomes our source of education.

  • @stevewithnell911

    The slide at 1:40 is simply wrong. The only time there is NO reflection is when the load perfectly matches the load. The idea that Zload < Zcable causes loss and not reflection casts doubt on the whole of this presentation, as it is a fundamental misunderstanding of how transmission lines behave. In the ideal case where the transmission line has no loss, then there can be no loss as a result of standing waves set up through a mismatched load - there is simply no where for the power to be lost, power is simply energy per second and energy cannot be created or destroyed. When the load impedance is a perfect match for the source impedance, then there are no standing waves, since there are no reflections that would cause them to be set up. Sorry, but the fundamentals of this presentation are wrong. For a robust explanation of transmission lines and standing wave behaviours, see Walt Maxwell's books "Reflections".

    In 1:37 it is stated that NO REFLECTION happens when ZL < ZC.......Guess that's wrong, in every mismatch there is reflection to my knowledge!? (i.g. a short -in extreme- also will produce a 100% reflection)

  • @MarioVladutTino

    What i don't understand is the explanation of the signal relfexion when there is an open circuit, why would a signal travel through a place where there is no end , in circcuits no current flows through a dead end cable.

    • @stevewithnell911
      @stevewithnell911 3 месяца назад

      His explanations are junk is why you don't understand, not your fault. Think of a coaxial cable ('transmission line') as an inifinite series of inductors and capacitors, then apply an ac signal at one end. The energy in the signal heads down the cable charging up all the L's and C's as in goes - when it gets to the end, the only place that energy (volts and amps) can go is back down the cable, when it is out of phase with the signal going up the line. The core of this is that it is an alternating current and ac behaves very differently to dc. In the dc case you would be correct, but for ac, you have a very complex situation. I've probably not explained that well enough, but you can get hold of Walt Maxwells books 'Reflections' as free pdf downloads, and he explains much better than I how this stuff works.

    Aliasing doesn't cause digital images to look blurry. It causes them to look jagged. In the example with the blurry text, that is actually where anti-aliasing has been applied. The blurring is intentional to avoid the jaggedness, and although it looks blurry when zoomed in, it looks better than aliasing when zoomed out.

  • @KjartanAndersen
    @KjartanAndersen 11 месяцев назад

    Of course you have reflection when Zload < Zcable. There is only one way to not have reflection and that is to not have a mismatch. Reflection causes VSWR which proves that you are wrong in your statement. If you don't believe me then try to terminate a 50 ohm coax with a 25 ohm resistor. You will get VSWR close to 2 with a reflection coefficient of 1/3 and a reflection angle of 180 degrees. 11% of power is reflected. If you change out the 25 ohm resistor with a 100 ohm resistor the results are almost the same. Only difference is the reflection angle which now is 0 degrees.

    Let's use DA-AD conversion for re-sampling to keep steepness origin. Comparator operational amplifier can do it. Math-algorithmical ones(interpolation,LPF) creates global nonsenses even in audio. There is a many records, especially in movies, that combine 44100Hz music with 48k-192k sounds and dialogs. And its bad, when they using virtually re-computed signals in mixture. Class-A signal processing is the only way.
