Abstract: An approach for transmission line pulse and very fast transmission line pulse reflection control is provided. The approach includes using a power splitter to split an incident pulse into two identical pulses with one going to a device under test (DUT) through a delivery cable and the other going down an open ended delay cable. The structure of the power splitter, along with having the delivery cable and the open ended delay cable with the same signal propagation time and pulse transmission characteristics enable the canceling of pulse reflections from the DUT.
