Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for detecting fault are disclosed. In one aspect, a signal having an initial pulse width is transmitted on a telecommunication line. A fault location index is identified based on at least one fluctuating echo tap of the signal. An updated pulse width is determined based on the initial pulse width and the fault location index. The fault location index is updated based on at least one fluctuating echo tap of an updated signal having the updated pulse width.
