Siglent SHN900-TDA Time Domain Analysis Option License – Key Features

The SHN900-TDA license enables Time Domain Analysis capabilities on the Siglent SHN900A series VNAs, providing powerful insights into signal behavior in the time domain. This option is especially useful for fault detection in cables and interconnects.

Key features include:

• Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR): Converts frequency domain measurements into time-domain waveforms, helping identify discontinuities, reflections, and impedance mismatches in transmission lines.

• Inverse FFT Processing: Utilizes inverse fast Fourier transform to display impulse and step responses from S-parameter measurements.

• Gating Functions: Allows application of time-domain gating to isolate and suppress undesired reflections before transforming back to the frequency domain.

• Windowing Options: Supports multiple window types (e.g., Kaiser, Hamming) to manage trade-offs between resolution and ripple.

• Resolution and Range Control: Adjustable frequency span and number of points for fine control over time resolution and range.

• Flexible Format Display: View results in LogMag, LinearMag, Phase, or Group Delay formats for deeper analysis.

This option enhances the SHN900A’s utility in diagnosing transmission line behavior, making it ideal for RF cable testing, connector integrity checks, and system troubleshooting .
