Offer,

That is a very good suggestion. Check out http://www.atn-microwave.com/
<http://www.atn-microwave.com/> for the ATN Multiport Vector network
analyzer solution - especially the time domain software which can emulate
TDR techniques from frequency domain data (which have a better
signal-to-noise characteristic).

                Ozgur, I would also check out how VNA systems compare to TDR
ones in these
                type of measurements.

                As another avenue of research I would suggest a good book,
such
                as: "High-frequency characterization of electronic
packaging", from
                Kluwer Academic Pub; ISBN: 0792383079.
