Data record instr.time-domain-reflectometer.principle

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

A time-domain reflectometer injects a low-voltage pulse at one end of a cable; wherever the impedance between the conductors changes, part of the pulse is reflected back to the instrument, and the distance to that point is derived from the time between transmission of the pulse and registration of the echo.
