25、the same direction, either forwards or backwards. frCfruuZii= =(1) where Zcis characteristic impedance; uf,ris voltage wave propagating in forward respectively reverse direction; if,ris current wave propagating in forward respectively reverse direction.

26、 mean characteristic impedance Zcmin practice for real cables which always have structural variations the characteristic impedance is described by the mean characteristic impedance which is derived from the measurement of the velocity of propagation (EN 50289-1-7) and the mutual capacitance (EN 5028

27、9-1-5). However, this method is only applicable for frequencies above 1 MHz and non-polar insulation materials (i.e. materials having a dielectric permittivity which doesnt change over frequency). The mean characteristic impedance approaches at sufficiently high frequencies (100 MHz) an asymptotic v

28、alue ZThe characteristic impedance may be expressed as the propagation coefficient divided by the shunt admittance. This relationship holds at any frequency.

In practice this is the case when the round trip attenuation is greater than 40 dB at any measured frequency. This property takes i

32、nto account structural variations in the cable. For samples with lower round trip loss it is determined by the open/short circuit method: os open shortZ ZZ= (4) where Zosis input Impedance of the cable obtained from an open/short measurement; Zopenis impedance with an open circuit at the far end of

33、the cable; Zshortis impedance with a short circuit at the far end of the cable. 3.5 fitted characteristic impedance Zfitis obtained from a least square error function fitting of the open/short input impedance. The fitting can be applied on the magnitude, real and imaginary part of the input impedanc

34、e. The fitted characteristic impedance is an alternative to the mean characteristic impedance to describe the characteristic impedance. It is only valid if the variations with frequency of the input impedance around its characteristic impedance are balanced. 3.6 (operational) return loss RL (operati

35、onal) return loss is measured at the near end (input) when the far end is terminated by a load resistance of value equal to the system nominal impedance ZR. It quantifies the reflected signal caused by impedance variations. The (operational) return loss takes into account the structural variations a

36、long the cable length and the mismatch between the reference impedance and the (mean) characteristic impedance of the cable (pair). If the (mean) characteristic impedance of the cable (pair) is different from the reference impedance, one gets, especially at lower frequencies (where the round trip at

37、tenuation is low), multiple reflections that are overlaid to the structural and junction reflections. Therefore, return loss RL is also referenced as operational return loss. As an example, Figure 1, shows the operational return loss under different conditions. The blue line shows the return loss of

38、 a pair having a characteristic impedance equal to the reference impedance but taking into account that the impedance is varying with frequency (see right-hand graph). The red line shows the return loss of a pair having a characteristic impedance that is different from the reference impedance (110 v

39、s. 100 ). For both lines, periodic variations that are caused by multiple reflections between the junctions at the near and far end are observed. The green line shows a simulation of a pair having a frequency independent characteristic impedance which is equal to the reference impedance. EN 50289-1-

42、nce impedance is to use a CUT terminated in its nominal impedance and having a very long test length such that the round trip attenuation of the CUT is at least 40 dB at the lowest frequency to be measured. For standard LAN cables, this would result in a CUT length of roughly 1 000 m for the lowest

43、frequency of 1 MHz. Another way (when long CUT length is not available) is to measure the characteristic impedance (open/short method) and to calculate the return loss. As the characteristic impedance is obtained from the measurement of the open and short circuit impedance, it is proposed to name su

44、ch obtained return loss open/short return loss. This open/short return loss includes the effect of structural variations and the mismatch at the near end (including the effect due to a frequency-dependent characteristic impedance), but it does not take into account multiple reflections. Figure 2 sho

The left-hand graph shows the results of a pair having a characteristic impedance which is different from the reference impedance (110 vs. 100 ). The right-hand graph shows the results of a pair having a characteristic imp

46、edance which is equal to the reference impedance (100 ). One may recognize that the open/short return loss does not take into account multiple reflections. 051015202530354045500,1 1 10 100dBMHzReturn LossRL w mismatchOSRL w mismatchRL OSRL 051015202530354045500,1 1 10 100dBMHzReturn LossRL w/o misma
