Claim 12:
13. A communication system, comprising:
a transceiver configured to generate an incident signal;
a load communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to receive the incident signal and generate a reflected signal;
a first port disposed between the transceiver and the load, the first port configured to combine the incident signal and the reflected signal into a first signal; and
a processing device configured to:
obtain the first signal from the first port;
perform a first processing to the first signal, wherein the first processing comprises normalizing the first signal;
in response to the first processing, perform a second processing to the first signal; and
estimate a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) associated with a transmission line from results of the second processing.
