Method and apparatus for measuring electric characteristics of cable assembly, and computer product

摘要

A propagation delay time of a cable assembly is measured by calculating a half of a time difference between a branch point of time-dependent variations of amplitude of reflection coefficient obtained by connecting a first connector with both terminals open-circuited and a second connector with one terminal short-circuited to a conversion adaptor in turn and a branch point of the time-dependent variations of the amplitude of reflection coefficient obtained by connecting one terminal of the cable assembly with other terminal connected to the first connector and one terminal of the cable assembly with other terminal connected to the second connector to the conversion adaptor in turn.
