TDR Impedance Measurements: A Foundation for Signal Integrity

At today's high operating frequencies, anything that affects your signal's rise time, pulse width, timing, jitter or noise content can impact reliability at the system level. Mismatches and variations can cause reflections that decrease your signal quality as a whole. To ensure signal integrity, it is necessary you understand and control impedance in the transmission environment through which the signals travel. In this technical paper, you can learn how to achieve stable and accurate TDR results.
