Hi Michael Yes and No. The phenomonon is real. If you expect what you see to be real impedance the answer is no. On a real differential TDR this effect is seen, so transforming frequency domain data to TDR response requires this same voltage rise. I skirt the whole issue by adjusting assumed models in ADS to measured TDR data and when they match each element can be seperately examined.
