Abstract
In a reflectometer measurement for measuring—in response to a stimulus signal—return signals reflected and/or backscattered in a network to be measured, operation for receiving the return signals is temporarily disabled or at least suppressed during such operation modes, wherein return signals resulting from closer ranges of the network can cause substantial spurious signals to be added to return signals resulting from more distant ranges of the network.
