    摘要: The present invention relates to investigation of a transmission line with cable segments (Si, ..., SN) by loop topology identification. A measuring equipment is connected at a first measurement plane Pi and means (1;5) are provided for transmitting a probing signal into the cable, and for handling the reflected signal, calculating means (6) calculates the equivalent total input impedance, e.g. Z(1)in (f) . Calculating means are adapted to, for i=, ...,N, establishing the lengths of the cable segment Si , the distance di from a measurement plane PI to the subsequent one Pi.+1 Algorithm executing means (7) are adapted to use a model for calculating the characteristic impedance and the propagation constant of segment Si - based on unknown parameters represented as a respective vector θι (Si) to set up a criteria function Ji associated with said model and to, for each Si, apply Ji on the model, iteratively calculate the respective equivalent input impedance, of the respective Ji using the calculated characteristic impedance Zo(f, θι) of the preceding segment Si, the propagation constant Ϝ(f, θι) with an estimated length of the respective preceding segment Si and its equivalent input impedance and to transform the total input impedance of the subsequent plane Pi.+1 such that a loop topology identification is provided iteratively.

    摘要: The length and attenuation of a signal line between a transmitter and a customer premises equipment is to be estimated. A frequency dependent line input impedance (Z in (f)) as seen from the transmitter, is measured and an absolute impedance value (oe Z in (f) oe), is generated. The latter is shown as a curve (A1) in the diagram with the frequency (f) on the abscissa and the impedance (oe Z in (f) oe) on the ordinate. Extreme values (Max. 1 , Max 2 , Max 3 ; Min 1 , Min 2 , Min 3 ) arc denoted and a frequency distance (FD 1 -FD 4 ) between two consecutive of the extreme values is generated. The line length (L) is generated as L=½.vop/FD 1 , in which vop is the velocity of propagation of a signal on the line. The attenuation is estimated by multiplying the line length with an average attenuation value for the actual line type. The advantages are that the line length can be estimated with good accuracy in a simple manner for short lines and that the line attenuation is estimated in a simple manner.
