How to Measure Insertion Loss with a TDR – Bitwise Laboratories

 

Understanding how to measure insertion loss with a TDR is essential for evaluating signal integrity in high-speed circuits. Bitwise Laboratories recommends using a high-resolution Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) to send a fast-rising edge pulse through the transmission line. By analyzing the reflected and transmitted signals, engineers can determine insertion loss by comparing input and output amplitudes. Factors such as impedance mismatches, cable length, and material properties impact accuracy. Proper calibration and de-embedding techniques help minimize errors. Bitwise Laboratories provides advanced TDR solutions for precise insertion loss measurements, ensuring optimal performance in PCB traces, connectors, and high-frequency applications. Using a TDR simplifies insertion loss analysis, making it an indispensable tool for reliable communication and RF system design.
