Abstract
The present invention relates to a wired transmission line testing method for determining at least one physical characteristic of a wired transmission line where the wired transmission line is coupled between a first line transceiver device and a second transceiver device. The wired transmission line testing method first comprises the steps of a first transceiver sending a first known excitation signal over the wired transmission line and subsequently the step of the first transceiver and the second transceiver both generating a first representation of a received signal respectively including reflected or forwarded portions of the known excitation signal and third a processing part deriving at least one physical characteristic of the wired transmission line based on the first representations generated by the first transceiver and the second transceiver.Furthermore, the wired transmission line testing method may comprise the additional steps of the second transceiver sending a second known excitation signal, then first transceiver and second transceiver both generating a second representation of a received signal respectively including forwarded or reflected portions of the second k…
