TDR measurements are based on the analysis of the reflected signal, and =
any analysis is typically based on an assumption of a single signal =
path. For multidrop/T junction nets it is not the case, and it is one of =
the basic limitations of TDR-based analysis.=20
If you can make certain assumptions, for example, if your stubs at the =
junction are of the same length and physical structure, you can treat =
them as parallel structures and conduct the analysis accordingly. If =
your multidrop nets are very close to the main bus, maybe you can assume =
to be just lumped loads. All of this, however, depends on specific =
situation.
