Robin It all depends on what signals you have access to. And what kinds of reflections are in your system. You can easily get NEXT, shoot the TDR pulse into one net and measure the NEXT on the others. To get FEXT, well, if the system has a good termination at the receiver it will be impossible unless you have access at the receiver. If you can shut off the termination at the receiver you can measure you can measure the FEXT for a signal referenced to the receiver. Turn off the termination, TDR the net and measure the other net. The first data coming out will be the NEXT and when the TDR reflection comes back you will also see the FEXT referenced to the receiver end. You will get some indication of FEXT but the risetime of the TDR edge will already be degraded so you won't have a perfect answer.

For serial link, it should works. But, how about the parellel links considering the mutual couplings? Any suggestions? Thanks, Robin 2015-02-02 15:36 GMT+08:00 Tom Dagostino <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: Sherman That should work. Mindful that you are not simulating crosstalk or losses though. If the SSD looks like a FR4 pcb then you can add about 0.02 as Dk. If you know the material is not standard run of the mill FR4 then look up the Dk on the manufacturer's web page. You can also model crosstalk with TDR to some degree. You likely have access to the other pins at the input of the SSD to NEXT is easy. For FEXT you will need access to the receiver/drivers in the SSD. Keep your measurement path's return as close as possible to the signal, you don't want large inductive discontinuities caused by the loop of the probe. Having a fixture with proper connectors on it will help immensely.
