Kenny,
The standard coupon measurement is performed on a predefined topology =
located out of the actual board boundaries. The standard test equipment =
measures the reflected TDR wave and provides the average impedance. It =
normally checks if the value is within the accepted tolerance range and =
main result is 'pass/fail'.
Yet, TDR measurement can be taken on an actual trace within the PCB =
board boundaries (recommended). You will be required to define a new =
'pass/fail' criteria, unless you keep the same topology defined by the =
standard coupon test procedure.
If the net is routed as a T-topology, then additional analysis should =
be done to separate the effect of each stub on the combined reflection =
back at the TDR tip. Note that if the stubs have about the similar =
length it will be very difficult to make the separation. =20

Hi all,
Since we're on the subject of PCB impedance coupon measurement, I have =
a question on TDR test. I understand that TDR test is performed at the =
impedance coupon on the PCB. Can a TDR measurement be taken on an =
actual trace on the PCB? If a net is routed as a T-topology, can a TDR =
measurement take on this net?

Thanks,

Dear Members,
Generally what is the frequency range for PCB impedance coupon =
measurement? Is it possible to measue the impedance of the coupon at a =
specific discrete frequency?
For better accuracy is it necessary to have 2 seperate bands one for USB =
full speed (12 Mbps) design and another for USB high speed (480 Mbps) =
design?
Thanking you all in anticipation
Geetha
