TDISTL

Time domain inverse scattering for transmission lines

Keywords: Transmission lines - Problem inverse - Fault diagnosis

Scientific Description

TDISTL is a time domain variant of the previously developed frequency domain software ISTL for numerical computations of the inverse scattering transform applied to electrical transmission lines. It provides an efficient solution to experimentally determining the distributed characteristic impedance of electrical transmission line from the time domain reflectogram (impulse response) measured at one end of the line. Its current applications are in the fields of electrical cable fault diagnosis. It is registered at Agence pour la Protection des Programmes (APP) under the number IDDN.FR.001.250014.000.S.P.2015.000.30705.
