A Measurement of an Attenuation Characteristic of a Power Cable in High Frequency Range with a Numerical Suppression of Reflecting Waves

Abstract

We have developed a new method to measure an attenuation characteristic of a power cable in high frequency range. The method numerically obtains an attenuation characteristic by suppressing an influence of reflections caused by impedance mismatching. The correction equations are derived from the relation of forward waves and backward waves with multiple reflections in the cable.
