In the first round of testing, involving 60 measurements (six samples x five repeat tests x two rounds), an initial review of the results indicated that one sample consistently performed better than ...

A time domain reflectometer (TDR) measures reflections along a cable. It is similar in principle to radar. To measure those reflections, the TDR transmits an incident signal into the cable and watches ...

For testing multigigabit-per-second serial buses and processor and memory interfaces, you can choose from a variety of instruments and software tools. The instruments have the bandwidth to handle next ...

The transition of the electronics industry to serial data standards and the need for larger amounts of data to be carried by the computer, communications, and consumer device interconnect links have ...

In the test and measurement industry, two distinct camps exist: those who favor vector network analyzers (VNA) and those who favor time domain reflectometers (TDR). Each camp relies heavily upon its ...
