The Picotest J2154A PerfectPulse® Differential TDR is an indispensable tool for electronic design engineers seeking to measure and verify the integrity of PCB traces, cables, connectors, and more. This compact, USB-powered device offers single-ended and differential Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) functionality, providing a fast and precise edge with a typical rise/fall time of 30pS.
It is compatible with any 50Ω oscilloscope, turning it into a versatile PCB Trace, Cable, Connector, and Coupon Tester. The J2154A's internal 10.5GHz pulse generator and power splitter enable TDR, Frequency Response Analysis (FRA), and Vector Network Analysis (VNA) measurements, making it perfect for troubleshooting impedance mismatches, verifying cable crimps, measuring trace lengths, and assessing signal integrity. With its affordability and portability, the J2154A provides high accuracy in detecting and locating impedance changes, ensuring your designs meet stringent performance criteria.
