  • Measurement Of Resistance Or Impedance (AREA)

Abstract

PURPOSE:To measure the characteristic impedance of a transmission line with high accuracy by making the output impedance of the line low when the transmission line is driven and driving it in large amplitude, and making the output impedance high when a reflected wave returns from the distant terminal of the line and increasing the reflected wave. CONSTITUTION:The measuring circuit consists of a driving circuit 1 which inputs a pulse signal from an input terminal 5 and also inputs an output impedance control signal from an input terminal 6, a measurement terminal 2 connected thereto, the transmission line 3 to be measured, and a variable resistance circuit 4 which is provided between the distant terminal of the line 3 and the ground. At this time, the circuit 1 is provided with a function which varies the output impedance to a value smaller or much larger than the characteristic impedance of the line 3 with the control signal. For the purpose, the circuit 1 is composed of a general driving IC with a tri-state output function. The line 3 is an unbalanced type and both ends of its return wire are grounded. Consequently, when a reflected pulse is ceases, the resistance value of the circuit 4 is measured to know the characteristic impedance.

However, in the conventional characteristic impedance measurement circuit described above, the output impedance of the drive circuit is equal to or smaller than the characteristic impedance of the transmission line, and the voltage observed at the output end of the drive circuit is equal to or smaller than the incoming reflected voltage. becomes smaller. This is because the reflection coefficient at the output end of the drive circuit is close to zero or negative. As a result,
The drawbacks were that it was difficult to determine the presence or absence of reflected waves and the measurement accuracy of characteristic impedance was poor.

- If you make the reflection coefficient at the output terminal positive and increase the output impedance of the drive circuit to increase the reflected wave, the drive voltage of the drive circuit will be divided by the output impedance and the characteristic impedance. Therefore, the driving voltage of the transmission line becomes smaller, and therefore the reflected voltage also becomes smaller, and the measurement accuracy does not improve.
