Abstract
A system and method for performing a test for characterizing high frequency operation of PCB boards. More particularly, a system and methodology is provided to implement a time-domain short pulse propagation (SPP) technique on the production line, on large, multi-layer, product-level PCB boards, for large volume testing, by people who are not familiar with advanced, delicate, measurement techniques, who need robust test facilities, and cannot afford the time or expense of other lab-type approaches.
