Abstract
A method for characterizing a fault in a transmission line network, the method includes the steps of: obtaining a first measured time reflectogram Rfrom a signal previously injected into the network, obtaining a second time reflectogram Rcorresponding to the network in the absence of faults, determining the time difference Rbetween the first measured time reflectogram Rand the second time reflectogram R, identifying, in the time difference R, an amplitude peak characterizing the presence of a fault and its time abscissa indicating the position of the fault, simulating a plurality of time reflectogram hypotheses each corresponding to the network comprising a fault at the identified position, each hypothesis being associated with a different value of at least one parameter characteristic of the fault, selecting the time reflectogram hypothesis closest to the time difference R.
