1) TDR: Time Domain Reflectometer

TDR is an abbreviation of the "Time Domain Reflectometer". It is an electronic device that operates on time domain reflectometry method to trace defects in metallic cables like twisted-pair wire and coaxial cable.

Working of a TDR

• TDR examines and evaluates the reflections of electrical pulses along a conductor.
• It transfers an incident signal down the cable pair and listens for the reflections.
• If the cable pair is of unvarying impedance there will not be any reflection and the incident signal will be taken in at the other end of the cable pair.
• On the other hand, if the cable pair is not of unvarying impedance then a number of the incident signal will be returned back to the TDR which traces the defect after evaluating the reflections.

2) TDR: Ticket Deposit Receipt

TDR is also an abbreviation of "Ticket Deposit Receipt". It is generally filed or put forward to claim the refund of the fare if a person is not able to travel on the train on the journey. There must be a suitable and compelling reason to file a TDR. Some of the common suitable and applicable reasons to file a TDR are mentioned in the following list, given below:

• The train is canceled due to waterlogging, flood or any other reason
• The train is running late by more than three hours
• AC failure in the train
• Wrongly charged by TTE
• Difference in fare

• Traveling without proper Identity Proof (ID)

3) TDR: Term Deposit Receipt

TDR is also an abbreviation of "Term Deposit Receipt". It alludes to an account that carries a deposit for a fixed period. It is also occasionally known as a fixed deposit scheme. TDR provides an advanced rate of interest in comparison to other types of deposit accounts.

TDR is normally a short term deposit. Its prime of life ranges anywhere from few months to a few years and the money can be withdrawn only after the fixed period or term has ended. TDR and other related financial products are provided by financial institutions like banks, credit unions, and thrift institutions.
