Abstract
A method and apparatus for estimating the length of a transmission line is provided. The transmission line extends between a transmitter and a receiver and has a low-pass filter characteristic and an impulse response. The method and apparatus receive a data signal from the transmission line at the receiver and estimate the length of the transmission line as a function of the received data signal and the impulse response.
