Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for estimating properties of a transmission line by means of features of a noise spectrum generated by noise entering said transmission line at an intermediate location between the ends of the line. The invention provides possibility to estimate a number of properties, e.g. length of a portion of the transmission line, line attenuation of said line portion and even line termination.
