Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wired communication. In one aspect, a method relates to detecting cable impairments with reflectometry. The method includes transmitting a test signal and receiving one or more reflected signals in response to the test signal. The method also includes applying a first asymmetric windowing function to the one or more reflected signals to generate frequency domain data. Additionally, the method includes transforming the frequency domain data from a frequency-domain representation to a time-domain representation to generate a time domain reflectometry (TDR) signal. The method can detect and locate a bridge tap, line cut, and/or termination condition on the transmission line.
