Time-Domain analysis (SNA5000-TDA)

July 27, 2021

Basic Time Domain Reflectometer activation license for the SNA5000A series of VNAs

Measured frequency responses can be transformed to the time domain to analyze the
time-domain characteristics of the DUT.

Similarities1. Time-domain responses obtained by IFFT on frequency-domain data.

2. Includes gating and de-embedding

DifferencesTDR simulates the setup of a traditional time domain reflectometerN/A
Includes time domain low-pass step and pulse response for reflection and transmissionIncludes time domain low-pass step and pulse response as well as bandpass response for reflection and transmission
