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.
