Performance limits in TDR technique by Monte Carlo simulation

This paper researches the performance limits on the estimation of the electromagnetic properties of dielectrics with characteristic times of up to 10 ps using time domain techniques. Constructions of random values with correlation among those, supporting high-fidelity Monte Carlo simulations, are addressed. Precision of the magnitudes under test is obtained, this result is required to evaluate the optimal method. It is shown how a simulated noise restricted to the system bandwidth is sufficient to characterise the errors.
