Abstract
A novel technique is developed to reconstruct the physical structures of a nonuniform transmission line from its time-domain or frequency-do main reflection (scattering) coefficient, This technique takes the pas t history of reflection processes of nonuniform line into consideratio ns, and its accuracy exceeds that of a conventional time-domain reflec tometry (TDR) technique. Experimental results are presented to illustr ate the validity of this reconstruction technique.
