Abstract
A system and method for performing a time domain reflectometry measurement. The system includes a coherent interleaved sampling timebase, a sampling strobe generator for generating one or more sampling strobes in accordance with the coherent interleaved sampling timebase, a time domain reflectometry sampling strobe generator for generating one or more time domain reflectometry strobes in accordance with one or more of the generated sampling strobes; and a sampling module for sampling a time domain reflectometry signal in accordance with one or more of the one or more generated sampling strobes and one or more of the one or more generated time domain reflectometry strobes. The system further includes an analog to digital converter for analog to digital converting the samples of the time domain reflectometry signal and a memory for storing the converted samples of the time domain reflectometry signal.
