Abstract
A method for generating a reflectometry signal intended to be injected into a transmission line in order to identify the presence of at least one possible fault on the line, the method includes the steps of: generating a first multi-carrier digital signal on a first set of frequency carriers, generating a second corrective multi-carrier digital signal on a second set of frequency carriers separate from the first set, summing the first digital signal and the second corrective digital signal so as to generate a reflectometry signal, normalizing the frequency carriers of the reflectometry signal, the second corrective digital signal being determined so as to reduce the peak to average power ratio of the reflectometry signal with respect to the first digital signal.
