WISE-CASING: Time Domain Reflectometry Data from Lab Experiment on Coaxial Cable

The coaxial-cable experiment conducted in the lab was with 80 m coaxial cable( RG-85). This experiment compares the TDR response between damaged and undamaged cable. For the damaged cable, the damaged section is in the middle (40 m). The amplitude of the data is mV with time (us).
