What limits the effectiveness of time domain gating?

  • A.A reflection arriving very soon after the direct signal cannot be separated
  • B.The instrument cannot transform a swept measurement into the time domain
  • C.Gating removes the low frequency content of the measured response
  • D.The technique works only for antennas smaller than one wavelength

Answer: A

Resolution in time is inversely proportional to the swept bandwidth, so a reflection whose extra path length is short compared with that resolution overlaps the direct arrival and cannot be gated out. Reflections from close structures are therefore the hardest to remove. The transform is routine, gating does distort the band edges but not by removing low frequencies as such, and antenna size is not a restriction. A resolution limit set by bandwidth appears wherever time and frequency are exchanged.
