Zusammenfassung:Current time domain reflectometry (TDR) equipment suffers from certain limitations [1]. These can be resolved by using a vector network analyser (VNA) system [2]. This paper will highlight the advances and drawbacks of using a VNA for the localization of failures within the signal path of packages or input-/output-stages of chips. Various examples will demonstrate the capabilities. Further improvements by using simulation tools may be possible.
