  • Abstract
    An analysis of the addition of echoes generated by the transmission of a digital signal over a structurally periodic coaxial cable is presented. The p.d.f. of the ensemble of forward propagating echoes is demonstrated to be generally Gaussian, provided that the original data source is random. The frequency dependence of the resulting p.d.f. is also shown to be relatively insignificant for all but a restricted number of cases.
