Aug 24, 2011 at 5:19 comment added anna v If I were setting up the experiment I would make the same pattern, a square pulse for example, the front sent simultaneously and measured as front at the arrival station. I can see problems like that when measuring within solids, but here we are talking about transmission lines.
