ML4035 | User Manual Figure 7: Ethernet Configuration The instrument is now powered up and connected through Ethernet. In the next section, the measurements that can be performed by the ML4035 along with the needed calibrations will be addressed. multilaneinc.com... -
Page 16: Standard Software (For Characterization And R&D)
The ML4035’s uppermost ports act as both receivers and transmitters. This allows them to transmit a fast 12ps rise time pulse and receive its reflections then display it with respect to time. -
Page 17: Tdr Measurement
One of the most popular applications made possible by TDR is cable matching. To match cables using the ML4035 and its software, first start by connecting up to four cables to the negative port the four available differential channels and terminate the positive ports with 50Ω. -

Page 19: Locating Faults & Discontinuities
Figure 13: Velocity of Propagation Insertion Loss In addition to time-domain reflectometry, the ML4035 provides frequency domain S-parameter measurement capability. As opposed to a traditional frequency-domain network analyzer that would use a frequency sweep for these measurements, Multilane’s time-domain equivalent solution takes... -
Page 20: Calibration
• Select the channel(s) on which the calibration will be performed. • Click on “Calibration” followed by “Run” to start the calibration process. • Connect the ML4035’s selected PPG channels (labeled “TX”) to the reference circuit’s inputs and the DSO channels (labeled “CH”) to their respective outputs and press “Confirm”. -

ML4035 | User Manual Insertion Loss Measurement • After completing the calibration, disconnect the reference circuit and connect the ML4035’s transmitting channel to the DUT’s input. • Connect the DUT’s output to the ML4035’s receiving channel. • Measurements can either be differential or single ended. For single ended measurement, only the negative port is used for each channel and the second is terminated with a 50Ω... -
Page 23: De-Embedding
Figure 21: De-Embedding Return Loss The ML4035’s TDR/DSO ports can also be used to measure insertion loss. Similarly to insertion loss, the ML4035 performs a TDR measurement in time domain and then converts it to the frequency domain, resulting in return loss measurements. -
Page 24: Gating
• Click on “Calibration” followed by “Run” to start the calibration process. • As instructed by the calibration wizard, successively terminate the cables coming out of the ML4035’s TDR/DSO channels with 2.92mm open, 50Ω, then short connectors, pressing “Next setup” between each step. -
