Abstract

Various embodiments may provide systems and methods for determining a distance to a short in a two-conductor wire. Various embodiments may include determining a distance to a short in a two-conductor wire based at least in part on a phase difference between a phase of an injected tone and a phase of a reflected tone. Various embodiments may include determining a distance to a short in a two-conductor wire based at least in part on both a phase difference and an amplitude difference between an injected tone and a reflected tone. Various embodiments may include determining a distance to a short in a two-conductor wire based at least in part on a measured peak voltage of a combined pulse.
