Lee and others:
I don't know what kind of TDR or fixturing you might have used, but the
excess capacitance is very real and can be seen. It is also illustrated in
a number of microwave books. If your fixturing caused a significant loss (>
100 ps) of risetime of the step out of the TDR, then the capacitance effect
will be washed out.
Sincerely,
ed sayre
