The Tektronix booklet:
/ Time-Domain Reflectometry Measurements by James A Strickland
/from their measurement concept series is also instructive, at 102 pages
it has far more detail and examples.
Unfortunately a quick search failed to find a scanned version of this
on the web.
I have a copy so if there were sufficient demand I could scan it.
