Time Domain Low Pass Mode
Table 3-2 Minimum Frequency Ranges for Time Domain Low Pass
Number of Points Minimum Frequency Range
3 30 kHz to 0.09 MHz
11 30 kHz to 0.33 MHz
26 30 kHz to 0.78 MHz
51 30 kHz to 1.53 MHz
101 30 kHz to 3.03 MHz
Minimum Allowable Stop Frequencies
The lowest analyzer measurement frequency is 30 kHz (300 kHz for the 8753ET), therefore for each value of
n there is a minimum allowable stop frequency that can be used. That is, the minimum stop frequency = n 
30 kHz. Table 3-2 lists the minimum frequency range that can be used for each value of n for low pass time
domain measurements.

Reflection Measurements in Time Domain Low Pass

Figure 3-12 shows the time domain response of an unterminated cable in both the low-pass step and
low-pass impulse modes.

Interpreting the Low Pass Response Horizontal Axis
The low pass measurement horizontal axis is the two-way travel time to the discontinuity (as in the
bandpass mode). The marker displays both the two-way time and the electrical length along the trace. To
determine the actual physical length, enter the appropriate velocity factor as described in
Bandpass Mode" on page
