TDR Maximum Reflection
Pressing the
TDR maximum reflection
softkey display the automatically calculated
maximum percent reflection value at the bottom of the display under the
waveform graticule.
The calculated value is dependant on the type of response and stimulus that
are selected.
For differential response to differential stimulus and common mode response
to common mode stimulus, the following formula is used:
where:
V
max
= the maximum voltage value along the waveform
V
1ref50Ω
= the channel 1 reference plane voltage into a 50 ohm load
V
1ref0Ω
= the channel 1 reference plane voltage into a short
V
2ref50Ω
= the channel 2 reference plane voltage into a 50 ohm load
V
2ref0Ω
= the channel 2 reference plane voltage into a short

The TDR plug-in module must be calibrated and a reference plane established
before this measurement can be selected.
