DESCRIPTION:IEEE Egypt and San Diego sister chapters joint meeting\n\nCabel
  Testing\n\nby Brian Walker\, Copper Mountain Technologies\n\nRF transmiss
 ion lines are used to convey radio frequency signals from one point to ano
 ther—typically between a transmitter or receiver and an antenna. Underst
 anding the basic principles of coaxial transmission lines is essential for
  achieving optimal performance. A vector network analyzer (VNA) can be emp
 loyed to assess the condition of a cable\, and some common diagnostic meas
 urements will be outlined here.\n\nAgenda:\n\nWhat is a coaxial cable and 
 how does it work?\n\nHow do signals propagate in a cable?\n\nHow do you me
 asure a cable with a VNA?\n\nReturn Loss and VSWR\n\nWhat is characteristi
 c Impedance?\n\nWhat is a Time Domain Measurement?\n\nVirtual: https://eve
