Enhanced Time-Domain Analysis with TDR Software

Application Notes

Interconnect Components for High-Speed Digital Applications

As bit rates of digital systems increase, the signal integrity of interconnects drastically affects system performance. Fast and accurate analysis of interconnect performance in both time and frequency domains becomes critical to ensure reliable system performance. As managing multiple test systems becomes difficult, a single test system that can fully characterize differential high-speed digital devices is a very powerful tool.

  • Interconnect devices such as cable assemblies, connectors, backplanes, etc., are used for highspeed digital communication standards.
  • With the trend towards faster data rates, accurate time and frequency-domain data are required.

 

Measurement Parameters

Let’s take a look at measurement parameters. Traditionally, the engineer makes measurements by using a vector network analyzer (VNA) and time domain reflectometer (TDR) oscilloscope. But pairing TDR software with the VNA lets you measure frequency and time domain parameters with a single instrument.
