Abstract

A method and apparatus for detecting faults in cables. The method and apparatus comprise receiving a reflected signal; multiplying an estimation of the reflected signal from an echo canceller by a predetermined gain factor; subtracting the value obtained as a result of the multiplication from the received reflected signal; and generating an error signal to adapt the echo canceller tap weight to match the real received reflected signal.
