Abstract
A method for estimating electrical length of a loop in a digital subscriber line (DSL) system begins by estimating an electrical length of a loop for each of a plurality signals based on a known power level of the plurality of signals, a known frequency for each of the plurality of signals, and a received power level for each of the plurality of signals. The method continues by processing the plurality of estimated electrical lengths in accordance with a function corresponding to characteristics of the loop to produce a determined electrical length.
