Hi, My question is: If we TDR (assuming the TDR method is 100% correct) the equivalent circuit converted using S-parameter, will the result is exactly the same as real TDR of the same DUT? (assume the converting error and bandwidth are not issues) Assume this DUT has many large discontinuities inside. To me, the real TDR can distinguish all the discontinuities inside a DUT; however, the S-parameter is only the characterization at the ports rather than inside. Will two equivalent circuits give the same S-parameter but have two different topologies? Look froward to your replies.
