TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry), Impedance

Beyond the TDR - Differential and Common Impedance, Crosstalk and Mode Conversion

-

A Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) displays the instantaneous single-ended or differential impedance profiles of an interconnect and the location of discontinuities. While this is valuable information, there is additional information we can extract by expanding to multiple ports and looking at not just the differential impedance, but also the common impedance and even the location of crosstalk and mode conversion.

Join Eric Bogatin and Teledyne LeCroy as we introduce the value of looking at multi-port and mixed-mode TDR and impedance measurements, the best measurement practices and how to analyze the results.

Topics to be covered in this webinar:

  • Converting frequency domain into the time domain
  • Impedance profiles and interconnect structures
  • Measuring near- and far-end crosstalk
  • Identifying the location of crosstalk
  • Features that can cause mode conversion
  • Three important consistency tests to always consider

Who should attend? Engineers who need to characterize the electrical properties of interconnects, or currently use TDR measurements.

What attendees will learn? How to use TDR measurements to interpret interconnect electrical features.

Presenter: Dr. Eric Bogatin, Teledyne LeCroy Fellow
