The application “HD COAX CABLE REFLECTOMETER” allows you to check the correct impedance matching of a 75Ω distribution installation. Using a ROVER instrument, combined with a calibrated noise generator (for example the ROVER CNG 90 STC), if in a distribution installation there was an impedance mismatch, such as a cable short-circuit, a cable cut or a not properly terminated cable to a 75 ohm dummy load, it will create a standing wave pattern that can be seen on the spectrum of the instrument as shown in the figures below.
