Abstract :
A methodology for modeling discontinuities in a coaxial transmission line is presented. The method uses a non-linear least squares fit program to optimize the fit between a theoretical model and experimental data. When the method was applied for modeling discontinuities in a damaged S-band antenna cable, excellent agreement was obtained
