Michael, In addition to the fact that losses will result in a rising impedance profile, artifacts and conversion errors can also create similar effects, so you need to sanity check the numbers you get. The TDR-like time-domain response requires an integral of the impulse response, and any residual plateau in the impulse response (if the translation from frequency to time domain is done incorrectly) will result in a similar monotonic rise of the calculated impedance profile.
