Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: What I have been told is...

Can you explain how the physical dimensions of the coaxial connector can prevent it from being a 75-ohm connector???

Better yet, can you also explain how to determine whether a cable is 75-ohms or 50-ohms or whatever ohms???

In other words, if I wanted to measure the impedance of a cable, what would I need? I have some basic test equipment such as a 60-MHz Tektronix scope, a Fluke 45 benchtop digital multimeter, an AC millivoltmeter and an audio frequency generator that produces both sine waves and square waves up to 1-MHz. Would I be able to measure the impedance of a 75-ohms coax or a 110-ohm AES/EBU cable, or even the impedance of an audio interconnect?

Thank you for any insight you may be able to provide into measuring and/or calculating cable impedance.

Thanks again,
John Elison
