Claim Text:
1. A position sensing system comprising: a waveguide configured to receive a pulse at a first end and transmit the pulse through the waveguide resulting in an end of line pulse exiting the waveguide at a second end; a magnet moveable relative to the waveguide, the magnet configured to cause a reflected pulse to be reflected back to the first end of the waveguide from a point of impedance discontinuity in the waveguide proximate the magnet; and a compensator electrically coupled to the waveguide and configured to receive the pulse, the end of line pulse, and the reflected pulse and determine the point of impedance discontinuity based at least in part on the pulse, the end of line pulse and the reflected pulse, wherein the compensator comprises:
