To distinguish between problems in the opamp driver and the line-termination load try disconnecting the output from the line and locally terminating it. Remember the output impedance of an opamp with feedback is very low, thus reflections will not be obsorbed. -- Regards, __________ James G Roberts /___ ____ | jrobert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Jim __ / /___/ / jgroberts@xxxxxxxxxx / /_/ /---| | Room: BE436, Hilversum \____/ /_/ Tel: +31 35 687 4308 Fax: 5976 Tom Dagostino wrote: > You also need to check your measurement system.
