We evaluate the feasibility of spectral time domain reflectometry (STDR) and spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) as a new modality for impedance measurement to test energized/noisy systems over a very broad frequency spectrum (near dc to gigahertz) as well as multiple channels in parallel. We simulate how the S/SSTDR signal parameters (signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) frequency and length of the pseudo-noise (PN) signals) affect the accuracy and usable frequency band for reflection coefficient and impedance measurement. An initial measurement validation is included. Here, we conclude with a recommendation of what will be required for a viable multichannel impedance (and reflection, transmission coefficient) measurement system for either energized or nonenergized systems, in noisy environments, that can test multiple channels simultaneously.
