Abstract

The present invention relates generally to characterizing loops in a communication system, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for loop gauge identification. In accordance with certain aspects, embodiments of the invention extract some information from the SELT signal. From SELT, the loop impedance, or equivalently input impedance, is determined. This information is then used for gauge identification.
