Abstract

A time-domain analysis of time-domain reflectometry (TDR) pulses is proposed to overcome the problem of timing drift which prevents the use of TDR for continuous measurements. Experiments done with canine cerebral tissue show that the proposed analysis more precisely quantifies water content than a TDR frequency-domain analysis. Therefore, the TDR time-domain analysis makes possible the continuous monitoring of cerebral water content.
