Signal Integrity & TDR Analysis with Multiport VNA

Jun 26 2026

High-speed digital links require both frequency- and time-domain insight. This demonstration showcases signal integrity and TDR measurements for modern serial links, such as those used in AI data centers, supported by ADI's VNA signal chains. Multiport analysis enables faster diagnosis of cables, connectors, and backplanes. The AD-FMCVNA8-EBZ 8-port 20GHz VNA reference design will be demonstrated as a signal integrity tester for various high-speed serial communication links, simulating a multi-channel monitoring system for an AI data center application. Real-time evaluation of signal integrity using time domain reflectometry will be shown, demonstrating the viability of the solution for identifying faults in practical situations.
