Verification of ENA Option TDR Time Domain Measurement

应用文章

With the increase in bit rates and lower supply voltages, issues not seen in traditional digital systems arise. In order to solve these issues, more accurate measurements are required and vector network analyzer (VNA) based time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurements are gaining attention due to its wide dynamic range. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. ENA Option TDR (E5071C-TDR) is application software embedded in the ENA network analyzer, which offers VNA based time domain analysis. The purpose of this application note is to verify the measurement accuracy of the E5071C-TDR by comparing the measurement result of the E5071C-TDR with the simulation results based on the NIST traceable data.
