Claim 8:
9. The apparatus of claim 1, configured to measure reflection properties in an electromagnetic medium, wherein the receive signal is, or is associated with, a reflected version of the transmit signal,
wherein the apparatus is configured to measure the reflection properties on the basis of the estimate of the impulse response,
wherein the apparatus is configured to couple the electromagnetic waves originating in the transmit signal of the apparatus into the electromagnetic medium, causing a propagation of the transmit signal into the electromagnetic medium,
wherein the apparatus is also configured to couple the electromagnetic waves from reflections of the transmit signal, that have occurred within the electromagnetic mediums, and that are propagating in the direction of the apparatus, into the receive signal of the apparatus,
wherein the apparatus is configured to measure the reflection properties on the basis of the estimate of the impulse response.
