Systems and methods for performing bridge tap detection are described. One embodiment is a method which comprises receiving an echo signal for a loop under test where the echo signal is a per-port calibrated echo response obtained using frequency domain reflectometry single-ended line testing (FDR-SELT). The method further comprises analyzing the echo signal to determine whether differentiating features are present in the per-port calibrated echo signal in order to determine whether the loop under test is a bridge tapped loop.
