Steve,

 You are right, the case of an unit step voltage (which is also the case 
described in the two books mentioned in my previous message) helps 
understanding what is happening, probably better then just some equations. 
However when the pulse shape is more complicated and you want to know why the 
pulse does not ?step instantaneously to zero? when there is a finite rise time 
you need to look into details.

As group_delay wrote: ?The dip does go to zero for a zero rise time input, but 
it does not go to zero for a finite rise time signal. i am trying to figure out 
the best way to calculate the amount of this dip...?

Steve Corey <steven.corey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:In my opinion, the easiest way 
to solve the problem is to think of what 
you would expect when TDR'ing an ideal 50-ohm T-Line of delay Td 
terminated by an ideal capacitance C, using an ideal 50-ohm TDR with a 
total voltage step of vstep. The capacitor initially appears as a short 
circuit (voltage goes to zero, gamma=-1) and finally appears as an open 
circuit (voltage goes to vstep, gamma=+1). Now think of the view from 
the perspective of the capacitor. When it looks up the line, all it 
sees is 50 ohms to ground, tline energy storage notwithstanding -- the 
capacitor doesn't care if it's a terminated tline or a resistor. As a 
result, the controlling time constant to charge the capacitor is 
(C*50ohms). When we mix all this together, we come up with a TDR 
waveform that starts at zero, steps up to vstep/2, is flat for 2*Td, 
steps instantaneously to zero, then "decays" up to vstep with a time 
constant given by C*50ohms.

We review this case, and a number of related cases, in our TDR quick 
guide, although the pictures do include parasitic effects such as finite 
risetime and a nonideal capacitor:
http://www.tdasystems.com/library/appnotes/tdr_iconnect_quick_guide.PDF

For a actual measurements on a power/ground plane pair, you can take a 
look at figure 4 in the following app note:
http://www.tdasystems.com/library/appnotes/PDNA-0703.pdf

Regarding Steve's earlier post -- replacing jw with dv/dt to map Z = 
1/jwC to Z = 1/(dv/dt * C) is really no different from a frequency 
domain analysis since the latter expression is only valid for a 
single-frequency sinusoidal v. Looking for flat and steep places in a 
non-sinusoidal v and applying that relationship will not give valid results.
