Subject Suggestion about Short Video on YouTube!

JohnsonMiller , 02-24-2022, 09:27 AM
Dear Robert,
I would like to appreciate your recent activity on YouTube by posting short videos, I am enjoying them and also learning new subjects.
Can we ask for a topic or issue for videos?
For a long time, I am wondering how we can measure characteristic impedance Z0 of a PCB trace? Suppose PCB is just arrived, not populated, or we have a test trace out of keep-out area, and we do have ordinary lab equipment, such as multimeter, scope, function generator; BUT no sophisticated one such as spectrum analyzer or reflectometer. Is it possible to measure Z0?

Definitely, please leave your comments with all the suggestions and possible topics you would like to learn about.

PS: I am not an expert for this, but you may be able to do some TDR measurements with a good scope, but you would need a pulse generator. Try to google for it e.g. maybe something like this can help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cP6w2odGUc Also there is a device called nanoVNA - that will not show TDR, but it can measure impedance - maybe that could also help e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhNwoOQ15VM
