5.15.2
Distance to Fault Application
With option K3, the R&S
ZND can locate faults and discontinuities on cables and trans-
mission lines. The measured S
ii
-parameter trace is mathematically converted to the
time domain, and represented in the distance domain. The x-axis of the DtF trace
(derived from S
ii
) shows the distance from the calibrated reference plane; faults appear
as peaks above a certain level.
If option R&S
ZND-K3 is not installed on the R&S
ZND, the "Distance to Fault" applica-
tion is not available.
To achieve the best distance resolution, set the sweep span as large as possible and
use the
to adjust the number of sweep points.
