Hello Ryan, I am referring to the first edition of the book: chapter 3.6.3 (Influence of Series Resistance on TDR Measurements), pp. 169-173 chapter 3.7.3 (Influence of Skin-Effect on TDR Measurements), pp. 188-189 The first section even gives an example calculation of the impedance slope. Best regards, Wolfgang r.satrom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 12/03/2009 01:10 PM To wolfgang.maichen@xxxxxxxxxxxx cc Subject Re: TDR Measurement of a Long PCB Trace - Increased value over time Hello Wolfgang- Thanks for your prompt response on my question. Your explanation is helpful. I have Dr. Johnson's book and have read it at least once, but cannot find where he discusses this. Can you please direct me to where he references this phenomena?
