tdr

Prototype time domain reflectometer/sampling oscilloscope. 90 gigasamples/second equivalent time sampling with an actual sampling rate of 5 kilosamples/second.

The input bandwidth is TBD, maybe 8 GHz?

Questions

How big is the Tdr PCB?

It measures 101 × 47 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tdr use?

240 parts, built around the 74HC244D, CDCLVP1204RGT, X0060L5050AHF2 and DAC7563SDSCR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Tdr KiCad files?

From the loxodes/tdr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/tdr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tdr design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
