Analytical Approach for Characterizing Discontinuity in Transmission Lines through Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Method with Quadratic Loads

In this study, we aim to delve deeply into the theoretical basis of Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR), specifically in the context of quadratic loading. Our primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive analysis to accurately determine a circuit’s inductance and capacitance. Furthermore, we intend to comprehensively analyze the TDR of two mismatched transmission lines. The goal of this analysis is to precisely calculate the impedance of the load and one transmission line, taking into consideration the impedance of the other transmission line.
